USD/CAD finally breaks 1.0700

Greenback rose constantly against the Loonie since yesterday's European session. After the FOMC decision to taper the USD/CAD made a big pullback from 1.0660 toward 1.0607 but rebounded and accelerated to the upside, surpassing 1.0670 (December 8 and 13 highs) and reached 1.0700.
