Attention now turns to US retail sales and weekly jobless claims for fresh direction. Meanwhile, the Canadian dollar rate today remains supported after the Bank of Canada held interest rates at 2.25% and offered a cautiously positive economic outlook. Canadian housing starts and movements in crude prices could provide the next catalysts for the loonie.

Upcoming USD/CAD Economic Events

In today’s daily FX spotlight, the economic calendar is led by US retail sales, weekly jobless claims and the Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index, which could shape expectations for consumer strength, labour-market conditions and Federal Reserve policy. Stronger retail or factory data may help the US dollar today extend its stabilization, while softer releases could renew pressure on the greenback. In Canada, housing starts will provide a fresh read on construction activity and domestic momentum. Attention will also turn to President Donald Trump’s speech, where any comments on trade, fiscal policy or geopolitical risks could add volatility.
