The Canadian dollar quickly bounced back after a weak employment report. USD/CAD rallied 60 pips to a session high of 1.3310 immediately after the numbers but after spending 20 minutes there, the pair reversed and then fell all the way to 1.3160 on a climb in oil prices and better risk appetite. Late in the day the pair recovered to 1.3223 but was still down more than 100 pips on the day.
