USD/CAD breaks 1.41000 as CAD weakens to near 4yr lows
The USD/CAD pair has reached 1.41057, the CAD's lowest since May 2020, driven by strong US dollar demand amid market speculation about Trump's return. Inflation-driven policies could limit the Fed's rate cut capacity, bolstering the dollar. Additionally, falling oil prices and concerns over China’s economic growth weigh on the Canadian dollar, given Canada's reliance on exports and energy. Potential US import sanctions add pressure by threatening Canadian exports. Despite these challenges, Canada's economy shows resilience with lower-than-expected unemployment and strong PMI data, limiting further CAD declines.
The US dollar index hovers around 106.5, fueled by robust retail sales and economic strength, reducing the urgency for imminent rate cuts. Looking ahead, traders should monitor US policy changes, oil price trends, and Canadian economic indicators to anticipate movements in USD/CAD effectively.
