USD/CAD hits four-month tops, around 1.3330 region

  • USD/CAD regains some positive traction amid weaker oil prices.
  • The momentum seemed unaffected by a subdued USD demand.

The USD/CAD pair finally broke down of its European session consolidation phase and jumped to four-month tops, around the 1.3325-30 region in the last hour.

Following an early dip to sub-1.3300 levels, the pair managed to attract some dip-buying interest and turned higher for the fourth consecutive session – also marking its eighth day of a positive move in the previous nine.

USD/CAD supported by weaker oil prices

As investors looked past Friday's upbeat Canadian monthly employment details, a softer tone surrounding crude oil prices undermined the commodity-linked currency – the loonie and helped regain positive traction.

Oil extended its recent bearish trajectory and remained depressed amid concerns over the hit in demand from the world’s largest importer – China – following the outbreak of the deadly coronavirus.

It is worth reporting that oil recorded its fifth consecutive week of losses, which has resulted in combined losses of more than 22% and points to a well-established near-term bearish trend.

Meanwhile, the momentum seemed rather unaffected by a subdued US dollar price action, which possibilities of some follow-through technical buying above the 1.3300 mark contributing to the positive tone.

In absence of any major market-moving economic releases, the pair seems more likely to continue with its appreciating move as the focus now shifts to the Fed Chair Jerome Powell's testimony on Tuesday.
