USD/CAD 4-Hour Chart

Last week the pair continued growing and reached its end of September highs.

The pair was supported by commentaries from Fed Chair Janet Yellen on Thursday where she confirmed that an interest rate hike in the US in December remains possible.

Investors’ interest to the USD significantly grew after the publication of strong macroeconomic statistics on the US labour market that substantially increased chances of monetary policy tightening in December. The number of new jobs exceeded all forecasts and came out at 271 thousands. At the same time, the Unemployment Rate fell to its lowest level for more than 7 years at 5%.
