GBP/CAD moves away from 3-Week Highs
FXStreet (Mumbai) - The British pound dropped against the Canadian dollar in the mid-European session, moving away from fresh three-week highs reached at 1.8172 in the previous session.
Currently, the GBP/CAD traded at 1.8113 levels, down -0.30% on the day, retracing from day’s high at 1.8171 levels earlier in the day. The sterling came under pressure against the Canadian dollar as markets eye UK CPI data which is expected to show a muted pace of price growth in December. The falling prices pressures in Britain have raised speculations of a delayed rate hike expectations from mid 2015 to not until 2016. Moreover, falling oil prices also have failed to cushion the losses in the GBP/CAD cross.
GBP/CAD Technical Levels
To the upside, the next resistance is located at 1.8172 levels and above which it could extend gains to 1.8235 levels. To the downside, immediate support might be located at 1.81 levels and below that at 1.8084 levels.
