Firmer energy prices are not having any obvious, positive impact on the CAD at the moment but they might add marginally to CAD tailwinds if the USD slips back.

Short-term charts suggest some softness in trend momentum and another, bearish leaning consolidation pattern developing overnight which might cue up further, minor losses in the USD on a push under 1.3550. 

Key, short-term support is 1.3500 while resistance is 1.36.
