The Canadian dollar (CAD) has recently shown signs of weakness, trading at 0.5375 against the British pound (GBP), which is 0.9% below its three-month average of 0.5425. The CAD is closely linked to oil prices, and despite a recent uptick in oil, it softened on Wednesday due to expectations of decreasing Canadian producer prices, which could spur bets on interest rate cuts by the Bank of Canada (BoC). With oil prices currently at $64.78, they are 4.8% below their three-month average, fluctuating within a 24.7% range from $60.14 to $75.02. This volatility tends to impact the CAD's performance, especially as Canada is one of the largest oil exporters globally.
