USD/CAD: the pair is developing upward dynamics
Current trend
US dollar dropped considerably against Canadian currency, marking a new local minimum since December 6. The reason for the development of “bearish” tendencies was general weakening of the US currency in view of resumed reduction of returns on US bonds as well as the release of uncertain macroeconomic statistics from the USA.

In this case the real dynamics was also better than the outlooks of experts. The data on retail sales in Canada in October were also positive. MoM the indicator increased by 1.5% against the expected growth by only 0.3%.
