Fundamental analysis:
USD/CAD remained volatile around 1.35012. The market downgraded the Fed’s expectation of a pause in raising interest rates in June, leading to a stronger USD, which was negative for USD-denominated commodity prices. However, oil prices rose by more than 3% overnight, benefiting from a sharp drop in U.S. gasoline inventories, demand soared to the highest level since 2021, optimistic expectations for U.S. debt ceiling negotiations, and Russia’s rhetoric that contradicted OPEC+, the outlook for oil prices continues to be bullish .
