The US Dollar attract some sellers on Tuesday amid the light economic data released.

The markets have been priced in the possibility of a 92% chance of a rate hold at the September meeting and a 42.4% chance of a rate hike at the November meeting, according to the CME FedWatch Tool.

It’s worth noting that BoC decided to maintain its key interest rate at 5% last week. Meanwhile, a rally in oil prices supports Loonie’s upside as Canada is the largest exporter of crude to the US.
