🧭 Key drivers
- Rate gap: CAD is influenced by US dollar strength amid widespread risk aversion, pressuring the Canadian Dollar.
- Risk/commodities: The environment remains risk-off, supported by global slowdown concerns and commodities feeling pressure.
- Global factors: The Moody’s credit downgrade and Federal Reserve stance are shaping risk conditions and flow dynamics.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: A shift toward risk-on sentiment could support the pair and push it higher.
- Downside risk: Continued risk-off conditions could deepen the weakness, especially if global risk factors worsen.
BER suggests comparing FX providers to find lower margins, which may help reduce overall transfer costs amid currently less favourable exchange conditions.
