Comment:
The USD/CAD pair prolonged its recent pullback from the highest level since November 2020 touched last week and remained depressed for the third successive day on Tuesday. A general improvement in global risk sentiment – as depicted by the overnight rally in the equity markets – dragged the safe-haven US dollar away from a two-decade high. This, in turn, was seen as a key factor that exerted some pressure on the major, though weaker crude oil prices undermined the commodity-linked loonie and helped limit the downside.
