    Canadian Dollar Forecast: USD/CAD Risks Catapulting Higher as Reversal Unfolds

    While
    tensions remain high between the US and Iran, they appear to be easing
    slightly with the US refraining from taking further action.
    Consequently, oil prices have pared their initial upside, which in turn
    has weighed on commodity linked currencies, such as the Canadian Dollar.
    That said, USD/CAD looks attractive for a reversal, having broken back
    above the 1.3000 handle. The pair now tests 1.3053, which marks the
    23.6% fib, whereby a closing break above raises scope for a move towards
    1.3100-10.To get more news about [url=https://www.wikifx.com/]WikiFX[/url], you can visit wikifx official website.

      Aside from geopolitics, eyes will be on BoC Governor Poloz at
    19:00GMT (14:00ET) who is scheduled to take part in a fireside chat.
    There is a risk that the Governor could provide a more cautious outlook
    from a domestic standpoint following the recent economic growth data,
    where Canada showed a contraction in growth for the first time in 8
    months at -0.1%. Elsewhere, focus will also be on the Canadian jobs
    report on Jan 10th and Business Outlook Survey on Jan 13th.
