In Asia, the USDCAD pair's volatility has decreased to a range of 1.3314-1.3345 following a vertical rebound from a key support level near 1.3230.

Following a minor recovery from 106.20, the performance of the US dollar index (DXY) is underwhelming.

According to CME FedWatch, there is a 17% chance of a 75 basis point rate hike.

In terms of the Canadian dollar, lower oil prices have led to currency volatility.
