- Canadian Dollar kicks off the week with a lazy Monday fizzle
Canadian Dollar kicks off the week with a lazy Monday fizzle
- Canadian Dollar flows mostly stuck in place on Monday, limiting price momentum.
- Canada has a strictly low-tier showing on the economic calendar this week.
- Markets to keep an eye out for Fed Chair Powell’s Monetary Policy Report.
The Canadian Dollar (CAD) largely churned in familiar territory on Monday, trading softly against the US Dollar (USD) as markets recovered from last Friday’s US jobs data glut. Monday’s sun rises on calmer markets after US labor figures crimped recent gains for the CAD, and USD/CAD is marking out a thin range just below 1.3650.
Canada is almost entirely absent from the economic calendar this week, leaving the CAD adrift against broader market flows. Key US inflation and activity data are due throughout the week, and market participants will be trying to nail down firmer timing on the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) pace of rate cuts moving forward.

Technical analysis: Canadian Dollar spins in place on tepid Monday
The Canadian Dollar (CAD) eased to broadly higher territory on Monday as market focus shifted elsewhere, leaving the CAD to drift in familiar territory. The Canadian Dollar rose around one-quarter of one percent against the New Zealand Dollar (NZD) and the Swiss Franc (CHF), but is trading flatly elsewhere, trading within one-tenth of one percent against the US Dollar, Euro (EUR), Pound Sterling (GBP), and Japanese Yen (JPY).
Last Friday’s NFP-fueled bounce in USD/CAD has run aground of low-volume rocks, and the pair’s recovery from just north of 1.3600 remains within arm’s reach of fresh lows. Further downside is still on the cards if Greenback bulls cannot muscle the pair back above the 200-hour Exponential Moving Average (EMA) at 1.3660.

Canadian Dollar FAQs
The key factors driving the Canadian Dollar (CAD) are the level of interest rates set by the Bank of Canada (BoC), the price of Oil, Canada’s largest export, the health of its economy, inflation and the Trade Balance, which is the difference between the value of Canada’s exports versus its imports. Other factors include market sentiment – whether investors are taking on more risky assets (risk-on) or seeking safe-havens (risk-off) – 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.
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.
The price of Oil is a key factor impacting the value of the Canadian Dollar. Petroleum is Canada’s 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.
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’s case is the Canadian Dollar.
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.
