• Canadian Dollar catching some lift as the broad-market US Dollar Index recedes.
• The Bank of Canada lands with its next rate call on Wednesday.
• Market sentiment is improving on Monday, sending the Greenback lower.

The Canadian Dollar (CAD) is finding some lift to kick off the new trading week, bolstered by investors finding their risk appetite in early trading. With the US Purchasing Manager Index (PMI), US Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and US Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) Index data all due in the upcoming week, the US Dollar (USD) is going to see plenty of play in the markets in the coming days.

The Bank of Canada (BoC) brings forth its latest rate call on Wednesday with a press conference to follow. The BoC holding their reference rate at 5% is a foregone conclusion, but investors will be watching for any hints of when the Canadian central bank will begin looking at rate cuts.

Technical Analysis: Canadian Dollar finds room to stretch in Monday's mild US Dollar sell-off

The Canadian Dollar (CAD) is getting a bump up the charts as the US Dollar wanes across the broader market space, taking the USD/CAD lower on Monday and testing below 1.3700.

After Friday’s bump into its highest bids in almost two weeks, the USD/CAD is fumbling the 1.3700 handle, setting an intraday low of 1.3675 after slipping from the day’s peak at 1.3736.

Monday’s chart action has the USD/CAD set to print an inside candle to kick off the week, and traders will be keeping an eye on any breakouts from immediate chart territory. Near-term technical support sits at the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), which is currently rising into 1.3600, while the ceiling sits at the last swing high into 1.3785.
