As a commodity currency closely tied to Oil, will move with a strong correlation to energy commodities as one of the major global exporters. Oil currently trades at 77.28, half a buck up from the open. Dollar weakness typically favours Oil as it effectively becomes cheaper to buy (as a Dollar-denominated commodity).

For USD/CAD resistance and support should be taken as the bounds of the current trading range, 1.0477 and 1.0491 respectively.
