FXStreet (Córdoba) - The USD/CAD extended its pullback from Friday's highs and scored fresh lows for the day after data showed Canadian housing starts grew more than expected in July.

The USD/CAD rallied to a high of 1.0983 Friday in the wake of disappointing Canadian jobs figures, but stalled once again at the 1.0985 zone.
