Just been watching the USD/CAD action lately and there's definitely something shifting here. The US dollar is clearly gaining ground against the Canadian currency right now, and it's not hard to see why if you look at what's happening under the surface. That IEA oil release decision hit crude prices hard, dropping them around 4-5%, and since Canada's basically an oil exporter, weaker oil means a weaker loonie. At the same time, the Fed's keeping rates higher than the Bank of Canada, so money's flowing toward USD for better returns. The question everyone's asking is whether this USD strength will hold up or if it's just a temporary bounce. Technically the pair broke through some key resistance and the indicators are looking bullish, so if you're wondering is CAD higher than USD right now, the answer is no - USD is definitely outperforming. The 1.3550 level is the next big test. If it breaks there, could see USD/CAD push toward 1.3650. Worth keeping an eye on oil prices and what the central banks say next though - that'll determine if this USD strength versus CAD continues or stalls out.
