WTI oil rebounded towards the psychologically important $60 level but this move failed to provide additional support to Canadian dollar.
Meanwhile, Treasury yields continue to move lower as investors increase their exposure to U.S. government bonds. If this pullback continues, the U.S. dollar will find itself under more pressure.
