Canadian Headlines and Economic data
Tuesday:
- Canadian Wholesale sales increased 1.7% to $65.3 billion in April, the fifth consecutive monthly increase
- China tells Canada to stop meat shipments over bogus documents – Not sure if this was the direct catalyst, but this news does correlate with a slight uniform move lower in CAD pairs in the afternoon U.S. session

Thursday:
- Oil slips to $66 ahead of G20, OPEC meeting – Again, no catalysts from Canada, so it’s likely oil’s pullback from the week’s highs pulled down the Loonie with it
Friday:
