USD/CAD Daily Forecast – Resistance At 1.3400 Stays Strong

USD/CAD Video 28.09.20.

Canadian Dollar Is Mostly Flat Against The U.S. Dollar

USD/CAD trades near 1.3400 as the U.S. dollar is losing ground against a broad basket of currencies while WTI oil is trying to gain more upside momentum above the $40 level.

The U.S. Dollar Index did not manage to settle above the significant resistance level at 94.65 and tested the support at 94.20. The U.S. Dollar Index received strong support at 94.20 and is currently trying to get back closer to 94.50.

At this point, it looks like further upside of USD/CAD will require additional strength of the U.S. Dollar Index. If the U.S. Dollar Index moves below the support at 94.20, USD/CAD may gain downside momentum.

There are no important economic reports scheduled to be released in U.S. and Canada today so USD/CAD trading dynamics will depend on general market sentiment.

Today, demand for riskier assets improved after China reported that profits at its industrial firms continued to grow. However, the support from this positive news was not sufficient enough to improve the performance of the Canadian dollar which remains mostly flat against the American currency.
