The USD/CAD pair surged past the 1.4400 mark, fueled by continued strength in the US Dollar amid favorable market conditions. Traders turned bullish on the greenback as recent US economic data reinforced expectations of a resilient economy, boosting investor confidence and increasing demand for the currency.
The Canadian Dollar struggled to keep pace, weighed down by softer crude oil prices, a key driver for Canada’s resource-heavy economy. With the US Federal Reserve maintaining a hawkish tone, market sentiment appears to favor further gains for the US Dollar, putting additional upward pressure on the USD/CAD pair. The breach above 1.4400 marks the highest level in months, signaling potential for further rally if current trends persist.
