USD/CAD leads a big turn in the dollar trade. London fix looms

Canadian dollar wakes up on a day when oil is lower

USD/CAD is down through yesterday's lows in a 91 pips drop to 1.2662.

In the bigger picture context with oil, gas and commodities strong, it makes sense to see some Canadian dollar strength. The loonie was caught in the vortex of US dollar buying yesterday but with the dollar coming off the boil, it's leading the reversal.

Overall though these are some choppy waters as we count down to month end. We're minutes away from the London fix and now USD/JPY is dropping.

While it is accessible to beginners, not everyone who tries their hand at forex trading will be successful. There are several reasons for this: 1.
