Why is the USD/CAD rising or falling today?
USD/CAD retains an upward bias as hawkish Fed expectations outweigh the Canadian dollar’s support from higher oil prices. The US dollar rate today remains firm as markets see greater scope for additional Fed tightening, while the CAD to USD backdrop is constrained by the Bank of Canada’s lower policy rate. Relative economic strength now provides the key test for the pair.
- US activity accelerated: September’s composite PMI climbed to 58.4, its strongest reading since July 2021, signalling robust private-sector growth.
- Inflation risks reinforce Fed caution: Business input costs increased at their fastest pace in nearly four years, supporting the case for tighter US policy.
- Oil limits CAD downside: Higher crude prices are providing some commodity-linked support, preventing a sharper Canadian-dollar decline despite unfavourable rate spreads.
- Today’s data create two-sided risk: Strong Canadian retail sales could support CAD, while low US jobless claims or resilient home sales may reinforce USD.
Upcoming USD/CAD economic events
Canadian retail sales and US initial jobless claims provide today’s main two-sided test for USD/CAD, measuring Canadian consumer demand and US labour market resilience. Revised building permits and new home sales will add further insight into the US housing sector.
Today's currency headlines
