Dominant driver🌍 Global risk sentiment
3-month trend🔴 Downtrend
CAD/ILS is currently trading close to recent highs within its 7.9% range, supported by prevailing risk-off sentiment. Holding near its recent upper levels, the pair may face downward bias over the coming sessions, as safe-haven flows and risk aversion dominate. Near-term conditions suggest the pair could remain under pressure if risk sentiment persists.
💸 Transfer implications
- Expats: sending money to Israel may find transfers slightly less favourable than recent levels if the pair weakens.
- Travellers: exchanging Canadian Dollars for Israeli New Shekels may experience less advantageous rates if the pair declines.
- Businesses: paying Israeli invoices in ILS could see less favourable exchange rates if CAD continues to weaken.
🧭 Key drivers
- Rate gap: The rate differential remains uncertain as the Bank of Canada’s policy stance diverges from global risk sentiment influences.
- Risk/commodities: Supported by safe-haven flows, which are pressured by geopolitical concerns and oil price declines.
- Global factors: Risk-off environment dominates, with safe-haven currencies gaining relative strength.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: A stabilization in global risk sentiment or any easing of safe-haven flows could support a recovery in CAD/ILS.
- Downside risk: Renewed geopolitical tensions or further oil price declines could strengthen safe-haven flows and deepen pair weakness.
BER suggests shopping around for the lowest margin provider may help reduce overall transfer costs. Comparing FX providers can help offset less favourable exchange conditions, and finding providers with lower margins can reduce total transfer costs.
