Will Canadian dollar’s streak continue?

USD/CAD is showing little movement on Monday. With Canadian markets closed for a holiday on Monday, the pair is likely to stay very quiet today.

Canada job numbers sparkle

It was an excellent week for the Canadian dollar, which climbed 1.4%, its best weekly performance since June. The Canadian currency ended the week with strong gains, supported by strong employment numbers in September. The economy went on a tear, creating 378.2 thousand jobs, crushing the estimate of 150.0 thousand. The unemployment rate fell to 9.0%, its lowest rate since April. The forecast stood at 9.8%. Investors gave a thumbs-up to the strong numbers, saying the Canadian dollar higher on Friday. If investors like the direction that the economy is headed, then the Canadian dollar’s rally could continue this week.
