Canadian Dollar Bounces Off Late March Low vs Weaker USD, Gains Capped by Oil
USD/CAD edged lower on Tuesday as the Canadian dollar bounced off late March lows, supported by a softer USD, though weak oil prices capped further upside.
The Canadian dollar rebounded from its late March lows against the US dollar during Asian trading on Tuesday, with the USD/CAD pair slipping into negative territory.
However, the decline was limited, with spot prices trading just below the mid-1.3900s, down less than 0.05% for the day. The move partially reversed the previous session's gains that had taken the pair to its highest level since late March.
A softer US dollar provided some support for the loonie, but weak crude oil prices—a key Canadian export—kept further gains in check. The lack of follow-through selling suggests that the pair may remain range-bound in the near term.
