Today’s economic calendar is not rich in the publication of important macro statistics for the US, and this entire trading week in the US will be shorter than usual: on Thursday, November 24, banks and stock exchanges in this country will be closed on the occasion of Thanksgiving Day. This day marks the start of the holiday season. It includes Christmas and continues until the New Year. November 25 is a shortened working day in the United States as part of the continuation of Thanksgiving Day celebrations.
From a technical point of view, for calmer purchases, it is better to wait for the USD/CAD to rise to the zone above the resistance levels of 1.3450, 1.3488.
