FXStreet (Córdoba) – The dollar managed to recover from Fed statement and trimmed losses versus the loonie, although it remains on track to post its second weekly loss in a row.
USD/CAD advanced sharply over the last sessions and recovered from a 1-month low of 1.212, mainly due to CAD weakness on the back of disappointing domestic retail sales data. However, the bounce faltered a few pips shy of the 1.23 mark, confining the pair to a phase of consolidation. At time of writing, USD/CAD is trading at 1.2282, up 0.49% on the day.
