Loonie Halts Rally as Geopolitics, Fed Expectations Weigh on CAD
The Canadian Dollar showed limited upside momentum as it edged higher in Asian trading, halting its three-day decline to around 1.3930.
Firm crude oil prices, bolstered by geopolitical tensions involving Iran and Houthi attacks, continued to support the Loonie and cap gains in USD/CAD.
The upcoming U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) release was seen as a key factor for near-term U.S. Dollar demand and USD/CAD direction.
