USD/CAD trims Monday’s losses above 1.0300

FXstreet.com (Barcelona) - The USD has resumed its upside against its fellow neighbour on Tuesday, retaking the critical 1.0300 handle and currently hovering over 1.0320/25.

“After finishing Q1 on solid footing, Canada’s international merchandise trade balance is expected to revert back into a deficit in April. This forecast reflects a large decline in exports following an impressive 5% monthly gain in March, with the weakness expected to be broadly based but accentuated by a drop in auto exports”, commented Richard Kelly, FX Researcher at TD Securities.

USD/CAD is now up 0.29% at 1.0310 with the next resistance at 1.0335 (MA10d) followed by 1.0389 (high Jun.3) and finally 1.0421 (high May 29). On the downside, a violation of 1.0261 (low Jun.3) would target 1.0251 (low May 22) en route to 1.0240 9MA21d).
