There were some substantial moves across the board in this week's data. There was no overarching theme in the US dollar. The loonie has stubbornly held onto longs but I suspect the jump in oil prices and lack of a corresponding climb in the loonie may have sent some specs to the sidelines -- that data certainty hasn't eroded.
