The USD/CAD price edged higher, trading at 1.3462 at the time of writing. The bias is bullish, so a further rise is highly probable.

The pair may hit new highs if the greenback extends its upside bias. Fundamentally, the US dollar received a helping hand from the US economic figures on Friday.

The PPI reported a 0.3% growth beating the 0.2% growth estimated and the 0.0% growth in the former reporting period, while Core PPI increased by 0.3% exceeding the 0.2% growth forecasted.

Tomorrow, the fundamentals should remain in the driving seat. The Canadian Consumer Price Index is expected to report a 0.3% growth in July versus the 0.1% growth in June.

In addition, the Core PPI, Median CPI, Trimmed CPI, and Common CPI data will also be released.

On the other hand, the US Retail Sales and Core Retail Sales indicators are expected to report a 0.4% growth compared to the 0.2% growth in the previous reporting period.

Furthermore, the Empire State Manufacturing Index, Import Prices, Business Inventories, NAHB Housing Market Index, and TIC Long-Term Purchases data will also be released.
