The Canadian Dollar gains modestly against the USD despite lower oil prices ahead of the Federal Reserve’s upcoming policy decision.
USD/CAD fell 0.14% to 1.4105 on Tuesday, reflecting a softer US Dollar despite downward pressure on oil prices. The pair remains near recent highs as traders adopt a cautious stance before the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy announcement.
Prior to this move, the Canadian Dollar had struggled against the USD, with the pair trading near multi-week highs. Market participants are awaiting clarity on US interest rates, which could influence the USD’s strength in the near term.
