After spending the first half of the day moving sideways near 1.2770, the USD/CAD pair came under bearish pressure and touched a daily low of 1.2720, but has since then moved back up to a daily high of 1.2787. Rising crude oil prices help the commodity-related CAD gather strength against its major rivals at the start of the week. With coronavirus vaccines receiving approval for emergency use, investors continue to price a steady recovery in energy demand in 2021. On the other hand, the upbeat market mood, as reflected by sharp upsurges witnessed in major global equity indexes, is making it difficult for the greenback to find demand as a safe-haven. Currently, the TSX is down 0.05% and the DJIA is up 0.41%. EURCAD is up 0.25% trading between 1.5456 and 1.5510. GBPCAD is up 0.87% trading between 1.6958 and 1.7132. JPYCAD is up 0.08% trading between 0.01224 and 0.01229. Gold is down 0.52% trading between $1,818 - $1,841USD/oz. Silver is up 0.04% trading between $23.66 - $24.23. Oil (WTI crude) is down 1.54% trading between $45.70 - $47.43.
