The offered tone around the US dollar keeps growing bigger as we move towards early Europe, knocking-off USD/CAD closer towards 1.28 handle.
USD/CAD drops below 10-DMA at 1.2845
Currently, the USD/CAD pair trades -0.47% lower at fresh session lows of 1.2832, having faced rejection just below 1.29 barrier. The USD/CAD pair extends its bearish momentum into early Europe, largely weighed down higher oil prices, which continue to underpin the resource linked-Loonie. Both crude benchmarks rally nearly 1% as demand for risky assets return on fading Brexit concerns.
While increased selling pressure behind the US dollar against its major peers, particularly the EUR and GPB amid Bremain news, also drags the USD/CHF deep into the red.
