USDCAD trades 0.08% higher at 1.3332 despite the Challenger Job Cuts from the US dipped from previous 53.5K to 41.5K in September. Yesterday, USDCAD was boosted by worse than expected GDP data; the Canada Gross Domestic Product (month over month) came in at 0% below expectations of 0.1% in July.
Crude oil, Canada’s main export commodity was trading 0.36% lower at $52.45, and adds to the negative impact of the GDP disappointment.
