USD/CAD Analysis
We have seen renewed strength in the USD over recent hours as Clinton’s small poll lead is holding up, and as the FBI have announced that they have effectively cleared her in their most recent investigation.
However, it is notable that the USD is rising much more strongly against haven currencies than against the Canadian Dollar. Despite the long-term bullish trend here and new multi-month high prices, the price has struggled to get above the 1.3400 level.
It might be that an eventual bullish move will be very strong, as it has been a long time in coming, but it must remain in doubt due to the very strong selling above 1.3400.
There is nothing due today regarding either the CAD or the USD
