CAD Gains After Inflation Data

The Canadian Dollar (CAD) showed a strong performance on Wednesday, making the best use of its US rival weakness.

The CPI rose by 0.7% year-on-year in June, compared with market expectations of a 0.2% increase.

CAD recently received support from relatively strong retail sales data, even if it was below expectations.

The USD/CAD is trading at ‪1.34148, down by 0.31% for the day.

Support Levels: 1.3412 – 1.3362 – 1.3300
