Canadian Dollar News - Loonie nudges higher as USD weakens on CPI miss

The Canadian dollar rate today is holding firm, with the loonie inching higher as the greenback fades at the start of the week. The US dollar rate today remains under pressure after Friday’s softer-than-expected CPI print, with markets now looking ahead to key durable goods and housing data. For the moment, USD/CAD appears to be finding a tentative floor, but the absence of heavyweight Canadian releases leaves oil-price swings and U.S. macro surprises in charge of the near-term direction.

Today's Global Currency Highlights

A quick view of the Canadian dollar performance against the USD and other major currencies.

USD: US dollar drifts higher against majors as markets expect today’s CPI to show inflation acceleration, fuelling rate-cut expectations.
CAD: Canadian dollar inches lower, gives up overnight gains amid rising risk aversion and weaker oil prices, housing data in focus for fresh cues.
EUR: Euro breaks its losing streak, climbs after strong German and EU PMIs lend support, but a firm greenback keeps further gains in check.
GBP: Sterling heads toward weekly highs as UK retail sales for September beat expectations, also draws support by an upside surprise in PMIs.
JPY: Yen remains trapped in a bearish hold as concerns about public finances and stimulus rumours persist, limiting upside.
AUD: Australian dollar fails to build on recent gains but holds steady amid US-China trade optimism; RBA uncertainty remains the wildcard.

Today's Economic Calendar

In today’s daily FX spotlight, markets turn their attention to a packed data schedule featuring Canada’s new housing price index alongside key US releases, including building permits, CPI, new home sales, and the Michigan consumer sentiment index. The Canadian dollar today could find support if housing data signals stability in the domestic market, while softer figures may keep the loonie subdued. Across the border, the US dollar rate today is expected to react sharply to the inflation print, with any upside surprise potentially bolstering expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain restrictive policy for longer, setting the tone for broader currency movements through the session.

Canadian Dollar Daily Outlook

The latest Canadian dollar news points to a restrained tone, with the Canadian dollar rate today easing slightly as weaker oil prices and cautious risk sentiment offset any domestic support. The loonie’s moves remain measured as traders digest Canada’s new housing price index and await US data, including CPI, housing indicators, and consumer sentiment, for broader market cues. With the US dollar firming ahead of key inflation numbers, the loonie faces mild headwinds, suggesting a period of range-bound trading unless upcoming figures deliver a clear directional catalyst.
