USD/CAD on a steady recovery path above 5-DMA

The Canadian dollar lost footing and declined gradually against its American counterpart, prompting a steady recovery in the USD/CAD pair.

USD/CAD back above 1.29 handle

Currently, the USD/CAD pair rises 0.10% to 1.2925, having previously posted session highs at 1.2933. USD/CAD takes a breather and consolidates the overnight recovery, underpinned by renewed weakness in the oil prices, which dampens the sentient around the resource-linked Loonie.

Moreover, the extended rebound staged by the greenback against its major peers, also adds to the upbeat tone behind the USD/CAD pair. The US dollar index edges 0.10% higher at 94.60, flirting with session tops reached at 94.63.

Attention now turns towards the US existing home sales and EIA weekly supply report for further momentum on the major.
