USD/CAD hit 1.3916 during early U.S. trade, the session low; the pair subsequently consolidated at 1.3943, slipping 0.12%.
The pair was likely to find support at 1.3851, Friday’s low and resistance at 1.4000, Friday’s high and a more than 11-year peak.
The U.S. Commerce Department reported that gross domestic product grew at an annual rate of 2.0% in the three months ending September 30, better than expectations for 1.9%.
Preliminary data initially pegged U.S. growth at 2.1% in the third quarter. The U.S. economy grew 3.9% in the second quarter.
The commodity-related Canadian dollar remained under pressure since crude oil prices fell to 34.29$ on Friday, the lowest level since 2004.
Prices slightly recovered on Tuesday, but concerns over a global supply glut continued to weigh.
The loonie was lower against the euro, with EUR/CAD rising 0.21% to 1.5263.
