# Canadian Dollar falls despite solid jobs data as US NFP beat forecasts

> The Canadian dollar fell as a strong US nonfarm payrolls report (172K jobs vs 85K expected) outweighed a solid Canadian jobs release that added 87.8K positions. WTI crude eased toward $91.00, removing some commodity support for the loonie.

## Why it matters
