CAD Market Trends and Predictions

Last year, 2021 the second year of COVID, Canadian dollar forecasts were almost entirely driven by the effects and response to the Coronavirus pandemic rather than any fundamentals of the Canadian economy.
However as we progress through 2022, the Canadian dollar is being buffeted by predictions of rising interest rates, inflation and the oil price as the world starts the slow path to recovery from the pandemic.
CAD exchange rates have gained amid Canada’s improved economic outlook and recovering oil prices. Early success in controlling COVID-19 has helped the Canadian economy to rebound as massive government aid boosted consumer spending and low interest rates have fuelled a surge in the housing market.
Supporting the loonie has been a rise in the oil price (oil is among Canada’s most exported products but is volatile and can’t be relied upon), a large and welcome jump in inflation, and dovishness at major central banks of the world, including the Federal Reserve, ECB and RBA.
