The USD/CAD pair is trading in the green at 1.3605 at the time of writing and it seems determined to extend its growth. The Dollar Index's rally boosted the USD which dominates the currency market in the short term. Yesterday, the US Prelim GDP came in better than expected which represented a high-impact event, while the Canadian Current Account came in worse than expected.

Today, the US and the Canadian economic figures should bring high volatility. The Canadian GDP may report a 0.0% growth. On the other hand, the US Core PCE Price Index and Unemployment Claims represent high-impact events as well. The USD is bullish in the short term, so positive US data should push it higher versus its rivals.
