CAD is currently quite strong in nature in light of the recent rate hike and upbeat economic reports being published.

On the CAD side, today Employment Change report is expected to be published with a better figure at 17.8k from the previous figure of 10.9k and Unemployment Rate is expected to be unchanged at 6.3%. Canada's economic reports which are going to be published today are expected to have a high impact in the market creating a good amount of volatility and increase gains on CAD against EUR today. If Canada's reports are published with expected values, then we might see more dominance of CAD against EUR in the future taking the price towards the yearly low of 1.3770 area.
