The Canadian Jobs report has also just been released and it was a little disappointing. The unemployment rate rose to 6.4% in June, from 6.2% and a forecast for a rise to 6.3% The number of payrolls actually fell, where the markets had expected a rise of 25,000. Payrolls fell by 1,400. The   USD/CAD has lifted on the news and that has also seen the CAD/JPY fall at the same time as the EUR/CAD lifted. The USD/CAD was trading close to 1.36 ahead of this release. It has now risen to above 1.3630 and it is not far off that rebound high just now
