USD/CAD capped by 1.3260

FXStreet (Edinburgh) - The greenback remains unable to gather further traction vs. its Canadian peer on Tuesday, with USD/CAD navigating the mid-1.3200s, still in red territory.

USD/CAD paid no attention to data

The pair stayed largely muted after today’s US releases came in on the softer side, with August’s Retail Sales, Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization plus September’s Empire State index, all missing previous forecasts.

USD, however, is holding on to daily gains, maybe more interested in the upcoming FOMC meeting on Thursday than in the current string of poor results.

USD/CAD levels to consider

At the moment the pair is losing 0.10% at 1.3252 with the next support at 1.3226 (low Sep.14) ahead of 1.3154 (low Sep.9) and then 1.3116 (low Aug.31). On the upside, a break above 1.3290 (high Sep.10) would open the door to 1.3310 (high Sep.8) and finally 1.3327 (high Aug.31).

Treasury yields rise, US index futures trade positive

The yield on the treasury notes in the US rose on Tuesday, with long duration yields leading the way and the major index futures strengthened after the US data highlighted resilient household spending in August.
