USD/CAD breaks five-day losing streak

An early dip to 1.2972 threatened a six-day losing streak in USD/CAD for the first time since 2009 but a larger US oil inventory build reversed crude prices and sent the US dollar 33 pips higher against CAD on the day.

The pair is tracking oil closely today.

If you have been waiting for an opportunity to short oil or buy USD/CAD. I think today is the day.
