USD/CAD as risen a full cent since the OPEC decision and is trading at 1.1340 after touching a one-week high of 1.1355.
Canadian benchmark oil — Western Canada Select — is trading at $55.94 but oil prices there have been much lower, even in the recent past. The low in that benchmark in 2013 was $51.25 and it hit $44.42 in late 2012.
Technically, USD/CAD held the 55-dma and has now broken through the 21-dma and the downtrend since early in the month. A close above that level would be bullish but it’s dangerous to draw conclusions with the US out for a holiday.
