USDCAD United States Dollar vs Canadian Dollar

The U.S. dollar appreciated against its major counterparts in the New York session on Monday, amid safe-haven demand due to a spike in coronavirus cases across the globe as well as on elevated treasury yields.

In the U.S., the seven-day rolling average of Covid cases crossed 400,000 on Sunday due to the rapid spread of the Omicron variant.

U.S. President Joe Biden's chief medical adviser Anthony Fauci said on Sunday that the "really unprecedented" spike in cases could cause serious illness in many unvaccinated Americans.

Key U.S. economic data due this week include ADP private payrolls, jobs report, factory orders and ISM's manufacturing and non-manufacturing PMIs.
