Currently, EUR/CAD is trading close to recent lows at 1.5888, under pressure from risk-off sentiment and elevated oil prices supporting CAD.

🧭 Key drivers
- Rate gap: The Euro's policy stance is less hawkish, with a close rate gap to the Canadian Dollar, supporting the CAD.
- Risk/commodities: Risk-off sentiment favors safe-haven currencies, while oil prices above $110 support CAD strength.
- Global factors: Elevated trade uncertainty adds to risk aversion, pressuring the Euro.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: A shift back to risk-on conditions or weaker oil prices could support Euro gains.
- Downside risk: Further escalation in trade tensions or oil price surges might strengthen CAD further.
Shopping around for the lowest margin provider may help reduce overall transfer costs and offset less favourable exchange conditions.
