USD/CAD Stalls Below 1.3850, Supported by Oil Price Rebound and Fed Expectations
Israel's strikes in Lebanon, in response to a deadly attack by Hezbollah, have raised concerns about potential disruptions to oil supply, lending support to the Canadian Dollar.
However, the US Dollar is facing pressure from market expectations of a dovish shift in the Federal Reserve's rhetoric at its upcoming meeting. Recent PCE inflation data, showing a steady decline in price pressures, has bolstered hopes of Fed easing, potentially limiting the USD's upside.
