USD/CAD fails to hold above 1.2500
FXStreet (Córdoba) - USD/CAD pulled back from daily highs and settled below the 1.2500 level, having spent the last hours in a slim range as the trading week drafts to an end.
USD/CAD spiked to a high of 1.2526, but stalled a few pips shy of its 6-week high of 1.2537 scored yesterday, following the release of US and Canadian GDP data.

USD/CAD is currently trading at the 1.2485 area, recording a 0.42% gain on Friday and on track to record a 1.64% rise this week.
