USD/CAD meanders near lows
FXStreet (Mumbai) - USD/CAD erased previous gains and traded modestly flat in the late-Asian session, after oil prices took a breather in its rally amid weaker Chinese inflation print.
USD/CAD supported at 20-DMA
Currently, the USD/CAD pair traded flat at 1.2458 levels, hovering around previously posted daily lows at 1.2453 levels. USD/CAD edged slightly lower as stabilizing oil prices and stronger Canadian housing data released in the US last session continued to support the loonie. Canadian housing starts climbed above forecasts in January, indicating upbeat activity in the housing sector. The seasonally adjusted annual rate of housing starts rose to 187,276 units. Moreover, a weaking US dollar against the major currencies also weighed on USD/CAD.
USD/CAD Technical Levels
To the upside, the next resistance is located at 1.2500 levels and above which it could extend gains 1.2546 levels. To the downside immediate support might be located at 1.2453 (20-DMA) levels, below that at 1.2400 levels.
