These comments have also been quite beneficial for the US dollar as it eased concerns over a looming slowdown.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the US CPI numbers came in better than expected, showing a monthly increase in consumer prices of 0.4% in October while market expectations were set at 0.3%. In any case, this is a substantial rise compared with the previous month\u2019s flat inflation of 0.0%.<\/p>\n<p>The risk-off market environment, wider short-term spreads, and softer oil prices have put some selling pressure on the Canadian dollar, which is overall mildly under-performing against other major currencies.<\/p>\n<p>Technical levels show that buyers attempt to push the price above the 61.8% Fib level, but the long upper wick on the daily candle signals that sellers are still not giving up.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div class=\"td-post-content tagdiv-type\">\n<h6><em>Currencylive.com<\/em><em>\u00a0is a news site only and not a currency trading platform.<\/em><\/h6>\n<h6><em>Currencylive.com is a site operated by TransferWise Inc.
