Prev Close: 1.2521
% chg. over the last day: -0.43%
Despite the decline in oil prices, the pair dropped following the fall of the US dollar. WTI crude oil has lost $2.80 per barrel, which may limit the decline in USD/CAD.

Alternative scenario: if the price gains a foothold above 1.2595, the pair may resume growth to 1.2629 or higher.
