Traders held their positions in anticipation for the European Central Bank’s meeting on Thursday and the presidential inauguration in the US on Friday.

Meanwhile, positive data in the European Union failed to support the shared currency. Eurostat, the statistical office of the European […]

USD/CAD Struggles to Maintain Upward Momentum as US Markets Remain Closed

The USD/CAD currency pair struggled to maintain its upward momentum today even as US markets remain closed. The pair demonstrated mixed results similar to those of last week given that weakness in the US dollar typically strengthens the Canadian dollar.

The currency pair remained in positive territory for the day but […]
