USD/CAD finds support ahead of 1.2900

By FXStreet USD/CAD has continued moving south over the last sessions, extending losses into a third consecutive day as the loonie gets support from firmer oil prices.

USD/CAD fell to test support at the 50- and 20-day SMAs crossover at the 1.2910 zone, but failed to break below and recovered a few pips. At time of writing, the pair is trading at 1.2955, still 0.49% below its opening price.

The greenback failed to take advantage of upbeat US economic data as investors await Fed Yellen speech on Friday for clues about a possible June rate hike. Meanwhile, the BoC left rates unchanged on Wednesday, as widely anticipated.
