Crude oil rallied above $48 dollars on Monday following OPEC comments and EIA cuts estimates, causing a pullback in the USD dollar. With that, the USD/CAD pair hit fresh intraday lows touching 1.3120. The pair however remains above the Ichimoku cloud and in an overall uptrend so we may see a bounce back up in September.
