Fed,Interestrate,Inflation

The USD/CAD pair struggles to capitalize on the post-NFP move up and seesaws between tepid gains/minor losses, just above mid-1.3700s during the Asian session on Monday.

USD/CAD oscillates in a narrow band and is influenced by a combination of diverging forces. Traders scaled back September Fed rate cut bets after the upbeat US NFP, boosting the USD. An uptick in Crude Oil prices underpins the Loonie and keeps a lid on further gains for the pair. The subdued price action is influenced by a combination of diverging forces, though the fundamental backdrop seems tilted in favor of bullish traders.

This, in turn, is seen underpinning the commodity-linked Loonie and capping the USD/CAD pair. Traders also seem reluctant to place aggressive directional bets ahead of this week's US macro data and central bank event risk. The latest US consumer inflation figures are due for release on Wednesday and will be followed by the outcome of the highly anticipated FOMC monetary policy decision.
