USD/CAD
Trend Theme：USD/CAD consolidates in a range below 1.3700 mark, bullish potential seems intact.
Trend Review：USD/CAD lacks firm intraday direction and consolidates below the YTD top set on Thursday. An uptick in Oil prices underpins the Loonie and caps the upside amid subdued USD demand. Reduced Fed rate cut bets favors USD bulls and support prospects for further near-term gains.

WTI
Trend Theme：Sticky inflation dampens U.S. interest rate cut hopes, oil prices weaken slightly, focus on IEA monthly report and geopolitical situation.
Trend Review：Oil prices ended slightly lower on Thursday as sticky inflation dampened hopes for a near-term U.S. interest rate cut, but worries about possible Iranian attacks on Israeli targets kept crude prices near six-month highs and OPEC believes summer demand will be quite strong. The International Energy Agency (IEA) will release its forecasts in its monthly report on Friday, and investors will need to pay attention.
