CAD in holding pattern ahead of NFP
The Canadian dollar has posted small gains, trading just below the symbolic 1.25 line in the European session. We could see stronger movement from the currency when US nonfarm payrolls are released later today. The month of March has brought plenty of turbulence to the financial markets, highlighted by the Ukraine-Russia war, which shows no signs of ending anytime soon.
