USD/CAD within range after US data
FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The dollar is trading almost unchanged vs. its Canadian counterpart on Thursday, with USD/CAD trading within the daily range near 1.3570.
USD/CAD muted on Claims
The pair kept the composure after US Initial Claims have missed expectations during last week, increasing to 282K vs. 262K estimated, while Export Prices dropped 0.6% MoM in November and Import Prices have contracted 0.4% during the same period.
Back to Canada, Capacity Utilization ticked higher to 82.0% during the third quarter, while New Housing Price index gained 0.3% during the last month.
USD/CAD levels to consider
As of writing, the pair is up 0.07% at 1.3573 with the next resistance at 1.3621 (2015 high Dec.3) followed by 1.3700 (psychological level). On the other hand, a breakdown of 1.3226 (55-day sma) would expose 1.3200 (100-day sma) and then 1.3163 (7-month uptrend).
