USD/CAD rebounded from lows and won back losses

On Thursday, the US dollar regained ground against the Canadian dollar after the publication of upbeat data on benefits for unemployment in the US, as well as a disappointing report on the volume of permits for construction in Canada.
In early US trade, the pair USD/CAD rebounded from 1.2851, the session low, to 1.2902, gained 0.10%.
The pair was likely to receive support at 1.2818, Wednesday's low and resistance at 1.2934, the high of September 6th.
US Department of Labor said, that the number of initial applications for unemployment benefits for the week ending September 3 fell by a seasonally adjusted 4,000 to 259,000 from 263,000 the previous week. Analysts had forecast for a decline of 2,000 to 265,000.
However, sentiment on the dollar remained fragile after the release of weak employment data in the United States on last Friday, as the expectations for rate rise by the Federal Reserve have lowered.
Also on Thursday, Canada's Statistics reported that the amount of issued building permits rose by 0.8% in July, while they were expected to grow by 0.3%. In June, the volume of building permits declined by 5.3%, the value was revised from the preliminary 5.5%.
But the commodity "Canadian" was supported against the background of rising oil prices, as market participants expect fresh weekly information on US stockpiles of crude oil and petroleum products.
Canadian fell against the euro, EUR/CAD rose by 0.86% to 1.4608.
