USD/CAD finds support at 1.3000

USD/CAD fell sharply and scored fresh 11-day lows despite disappointing Canadian GDP, as the greenback suffered the most on the back of awful data.

Both GDPs came in below expectations but while the Canadian missed forecast slightly (-0.6% vs -0.5%), the US GDP grew by less than half expectations (1.2% vs 2.6%).

USD/CAD dropped sharply and bottomed out at 1.3001 before recovering slightly. The Canadian dollar was also helped by a mild comeback seen in oil prices, with WTI reaching a daily high of $41.56 a barrel. At time of writing, USD/CAD is trading at 1.3049, down 0.79% on the day
