Information is not investment advice
So many factors have recently appeared on the market which should definitely impact USD/CAD. First of all, the important economic releases will be out soon from both Canada and the USA.

No doubt that the main driver of the pair will be NFP, but take into consideration the Canadian data as well.
Elsewhere, OPEC+ decision to prolong oil output cuts moved oil prices upwards. As a result, the resurgence of crude oil impacted positively the commodity-sensitive loonie as Canada is one of the world’s largest oil exporters.
