EURCAD The Weakest of All the CAD Pairs
Where can EUR/CAD go from here?
Share this:
When the anticipated supply of something goes down, the price usually goes up. Such is the case with oil as a result of the attack over the weekend on Saudi Arabia’s largest faciality. Because of the attack, the anticipated supply of oil went down, causing prices to go up. If the price of oil is going up, the price of a currency of other oil exporting countries usually will go up as well.
Canada is an oil export led economy. When the price of crude oil goes up, generally, the price of the Canadian Dollar will as well. Today, the Canadian Dollar was up against all major currencies across the board. However, it was up most vs the Euro, almost 1% with a low at 1.4555.

Why so weak vs the the Euro? Mainly because DXY was bid all day. Over 60% of the US Dollar Index is made up of the Euro. So often, when the DXY goes higher, the Euro will go lower.

Also, EUR/CAD closed at trendline resistance and the 50 Day Moving Average on Friday. After the gap lower on the opening earlier, the pair was never able to recover to fill the gap because of strength of the US Dollar and Canadian Dollar.
