DOLLAR-CANADA
DOLLAR-CANADA: USD/CAD last deals at C$1.3199, virtually unchanged in early
Asia-Pac dealing after closing some 90 pips lower Monday as CAD garnered
strength from a jump in oil prices. Crude moved higher on the back of the
extension of Saudi-Russia oil management pact into 2019, Qatar's withdrawal from
OPEC and Canadian oil-rich province Alberta's decision to cut output. 
- Bears eye yesterday's low at C$1.3160 and a break below that level would open
up the Nov 19 low at C$1.3142. Bears focus on the 21-DMA at C$1.3218 looking to
a break above, which would allow them to target yesterday's high/50% fibo
retracement of the move from C$1.3333 to C$1.3202 at C$1.3268. 
- BoC is set to release its MonPol decision Wednesday (the rate is expected to
stay at 1.75%). Also in the Canadian docket this week is labour market report
due Friday.
