USD/CAD Retreats Amid Strong Demand For Commodity-Related Currencies
USD/CAD pulled back as demand for commodity-related currencies increased. Currently, USD/CAD is trying to settle below the 1.4300 level.
In case this attempt is successful, USD/CAD will move towards the next support level, which is located in the 1.4180 – 1.4200 range. RSI has recently moved into the oversold territory, but there is enough room to gain additional downside momentum in the near term.
