Canada saw some better than expected inflation data on Friday which were welcomed by USD/CAD sellers. The pair would have probably been trading much lower if it weren't for uncertainty regarding NAFTA, U.S. politics and Canadian housing market, all of which keep the Bank of Canada in cautious mode. 1.26 is the initial support and stronger one closer to 1.25.

Pound rallies on better than expected inflation data
The pound has been on a bull run during the past couple of weeks. It rallied today into what proved to be a better than expected inflation data release, and extended gains after the release. Nothing suspicious here.
