CAD Market Update
16 Jun 2026 • 00:29 GMT
The Canadian dollar has weakened against the US dollar in recent weeks, hitting its lowest level in 90 days near 0.7145. This is about 1.4% below its three-month average of 0.7251. The USD has gained strength amid expectations of potential Federal Reserve rate hikes and resilient US economic data, including strong employment figures. Meanwhile, the CAD's decline is partly driven by a decline in oil prices, which impact Canada's resource-backed currency.
Despite the recent dip, the CAD has traded within a stable range from around 0.7145 to 0.7363 over the past three months. Market watchers are focusing on key resistance levels at 1.3950 to 1.3965 for USD/CAD, with a decline in oil prices adding downward pressure on the pair. Canadian economic data and US monetary policy decisions will be important to watch moving forward. For now, expect the CAD to remain sensitive to shifts in commodity prices and global economic signals that could influence the dollar and oil markets.
