USD/CAD Price Forecast: Likely revisit five-month high at around 1.4250

The US Dollar is currently trading around 1.4190 against the Canadian Dollar, marking a five-month high for the pair. This upward trend is attributed to the US Dollar outperforming other currencies, as financial markets become more confident in the Federal Reserve's decision to increase interest rates multiple times this year. The US Dollar Index (DXY) has also surged by 0.16% to near 101.35.

Investors will closely monitor Canadian monthly Gross Domestic Product (GDP) data for July and US JOLTS Job Openings data for August, with economists forecasting a flat Canadian economy after a 0.3% expansion in June and a US Job Openings report showing approximately 7.23 million new jobs, slightly lower than July's 7.271 million.

In the daily chart, USD/CAD is currently at 1.4190, surpassing the 20-period exponential moving average (EMA) at 1.4016 and demonstrating a bullish near-term bias. The 14-period Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 75.45, indicating that while buyers dominate, the risk of a pullback increases as the price extends from its dynamic support.
