USD/CAD hits fresh session lows
FXStreet (Mumbai) - USD/CAD trades lower in the mid-Asian morning, reversing gains from the previous session as higher oil prices continue to support the resource-linked loonie.
USD/CAD trades below 5-DMA located at 1.2466 levels
Currently, the USD/CAD lower by -0.11% at fresh session lows of 1.2453 levels, having posted fresh session lows at 1.2478 levels at open. The pair remains lower as traders remain wary and hence refrain from creating fresh positions as markets are gearing up for the release of FOMC meeting minutes on Wednesday and key Canadian retail trade data on Friday. Moreover, stabilizing oil prices are also likely to keep the loonie underpinned.

To the upside, the next resistance is located at 1.2478 levels and above which it could extend gains 1.2506 (10-DMA) levels. To the downside immediate support might be located at 1.2418 levels, below that at 1.2390 levels.
