The Canadian Dollar (CAD) is extending its pullback from two-week highs of 1.3844 against the US Dollar (USD) early Monday, with USD/CAD capitalizing on the renewed demand for the Greenback as a go-to safe-haven.
The USD rejoices new phase of escalation in the US-Iran war as the recent ceasefire agreement appears at risk following the weekend breakdown of peace talks between both sides.
In the aftermath of the fallout, US President Donald Trump vowed blockades to the Strait of Hormuz, while considering resuming limited military strikes in Iran in an attempt to break a gridlock in peace talks.
However, the further upside in the USD/CAD pair appears limited amid the extensive surge in Oil price, in the face of the Middle East re-escalation and a potential threat to the US-Iran ceasefire agreement.
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) – the US oil benchmark opened with a bullish gap and rallied as much as 8% in the weekly opening hours. The black gold is aiming for a retest of the $100 mark, as of writing.
