The US dollar rate today remains firm near recent highs, supported by persistent safe-haven demand amid renewed US–China trade tensions. Market attention is turning to key economic data later this week, which could offer further direction for the greenback. Meanwhile, the Canadian dollar rate today remains on the back foot as renewed USD strength and softer oil prices weigh on sentiment. Traders are keeping a close eye on upcoming building permits data for fresh domestic signals, but for now, USD/CAD remains supported by the divergence in momentum between the two currencies.
