USD Gains Momentum Against CAD as Fed Rate Hike Bets Rise
The US Dollar has gained momentum and is targeting the 1.3940 area against the Canadian Dollar, as investors ramp up bets on a Federal Reserve rate hike on Wednesday.
The USD/CAD pair has pierced resistance at the 1.3870 area, with bulls aiming for the monthly high at 1.3940 and possibly higher.
Analysts at ING argue that a Fed rate hike would back up the central bank's monetary policy credibility and take some steam out of the debasement trade.
