The USD/CAD lost 0.364 percent in the last 24 hours. The pair is trading at 1.2988 after the Bank of Canada (BoC) left interest rates unchanged this morning. The loonie got a boost from the central bank holding rates despite the drop in oil prices that came after the release of U.S. crude inventories.
The Monetary Policy Report published quarterly by the central bank also gave an assessment of the detrimental impact of the Alberta wildfires. The disaster eroded 1.1 percent of the Q2 growth taking with it the forecasted growth and turning it into a contraction.
The Canadian currency was boosted by the less dovish outlook as Governor Poloz continued his optimism about a second half rebound.
