The Canadian Dollar (CAD) weakens against the US Dollar (USD) as traders grow risk-averse ahead of US trade tariffs expected to be unveiled on Wednesday. The US March ISM Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI)\u00a0will be in the spotlight later on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>US President Donald Trump\u00a0said that his reciprocal tariff plan\u00a0will\u00a0target all other countries when it comes up on Wednesday, adding uncertainty to the much-anticipated trade policy just days before its implementation.

Other factors include market sentiment \u2013 whether investors are taking on more risky assets (risk-on) or seeking safe-havens (risk-off) \u2013 with risk-on being CAD-positive. As its largest trading partner, the health of the US economy is also a key factor influencing the Canadian Dollar.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p><input id=\"accordion1\" type=\"checkbox\"\/><\/p>\n<section class=\"fxs-faq-module-section\">\n<p class=\"fxs-faq-module-content\">The Bank of Canada (BoC) has a significant influence on the Canadian Dollar by setting the level of interest rates that banks can lend to one another. This influences the level of interest rates for everyone. The main goal of the BoC is to maintain inflation at 1-3% by adjusting interest rates up or down. Relatively higher interest rates tend to be positive for the CAD. The Bank of Canada can also use quantitative easing and tightening to influence credit conditions, with the former CAD-negative and the latter CAD-positive.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p><input id=\"accordion2\" type=\"checkbox\"\/><\/p>\n<section class=\"fxs-faq-module-section\">\n<p class=\"fxs-faq-module-content\">The price of Oil is a key factor impacting the value of the Canadian Dollar. Petroleum is Canada\u2019s biggest export, so Oil price tends to have an immediate impact on the CAD value. Generally, if Oil price rises CAD also goes up, as aggregate demand for the currency increases. The opposite is the case if the price of Oil falls. Higher Oil prices also tend to result in a greater likelihood of a positive Trade Balance, which is also supportive of the CAD.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p><input id=\"accordion3\" type=\"checkbox\"\/><\/p>\n<section class=\"fxs-faq-module-section\">\n<p class=\"fxs-faq-module-content\">While inflation had always traditionally been thought of as a negative factor for a currency since it lowers the value of money, the opposite has actually been the case in modern times with the relaxation of cross-border capital controls. Higher inflation tends to lead central banks to put up interest rates which attracts more capital inflows from global investors seeking a lucrative place to keep their money. This increases demand for the local currency, which in Canada\u2019s case is the Canadian Dollar.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p><input id=\"accordion4\" type=\"checkbox\"\/><\/p>\n<section class=\"fxs-faq-module-section\">\n<p class=\"fxs-faq-module-content\">Macroeconomic data releases gauge the health of the economy and can have an impact on the Canadian Dollar. Indicators such as GDP, Manufacturing and Services PMIs, employment, and consumer sentiment surveys can all influence the direction of the CAD. A strong economy is good for the Canadian Dollar. Not only does it attract more foreign investment but it may encourage the Bank of Canada to put up interest rates, leading to a stronger currency. If economic data is weak, however, the CAD is likely to fall.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>USD\/CAD regains traction to around 1.4390 in Monday\u2019s late American session.\u00a0 Trump said that his reciprocal tariffs plan will target all other countries when it is unveiled on Wednesday.\u00a0 The swirl of uncertainty surrounding the forthcoming US tariffs weighs on the Loonie.\u00a0 The USD\/CAD pair edges higher to near 1.4390 during the late American session [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":386169,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[173],"tags":[201,248,251,246,257,255,250,333,277,252,247,253,249,498,256,254],"class_list":["post-386166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-others","tag-blockchain","tag-bsc","tag-chainlink","tag-coin","tag-cryptocurrency","tag-gta","tag-looks-rare","tag-macroeconomics","tag-majors","tag-oracle","tag-polygon","tag-quickswap","tag-safe-moon","tag-usdcad","tag-wallet","tag-wordpress"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dripp.zone\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dripp.zone\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dripp.zone\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dripp.zone\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dripp.zone\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=386166"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dripp.zone\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386166\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":386173,"href":"https:\/\/dripp.zone\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386166\/revisions\/386173"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dripp.zone\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/386169"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dripp.zone\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=386166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dripp.zone\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=386166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dripp.zone\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=386166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
