USD/CAD remains close to 1.3730 highs amid fears of a wider Middle East conflict

  • The USD/CAD advances for the third consecutive day on Thursday and remains steady above 1.3700 at the moment of writing, after having tested the early June highs, near the 1.3730 area earlier today. The US Dollar is one of the strongest G8 performers on Thursday, as investors rush for safe assets, amid growing fears that the US will strike Iran, bringing the Middle East conflict into a full-blown war of unforeseeable consequences.
