The euro rebounded from recent weakness after a poll showed French far-right candidate Marine Le Pen's chances in the country's presidential election dimming. The CAD made a slight gain against its US counterpart as rising oil prices lent support to weak sentiment due to the divergence in the policy views of US and Canada’s central banks. A higher than expected GDP growth posted by the nation, lent further support to CAD. The GBP was lower as both Manufacturing and Services PMIs missed expectations, and Construction PMI continued to point to weak expansion.
