USD/CAD recovery loses pace
FXStreet (Córdoba) - The USD/CAD is advancing for a fifth day in a row Monday, having already shrugged off the post-nonfarm payrolls weakness, although the dollar lacked strength.
The USD/CAD managed to close last week above 1.0900 despite lower-than-expected US employment data weighed on the greenback, and even moved a tad higher Monday. However, the pair was capped by the 1.0930 area and confined to a phase of consolidation.
The USD/CAD has been in recovery mode after bottoming out at 1.0619 early July, although the recovery has been losing pace as the spot moves closer to 1.1000.
