The USD/CAD pair edged closer to the 1.4500 level, driven by renewed uncertainty over impending trade tariffs. Investors remain cautious as the U.S. government deliberates on potential duties, which could impact trade relations with Canada and disrupt market stability.

Currency traders have responded by increasing demand for the U.S. dollar, pushing the pair higher. The greenback’s strength comes amid expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain its restrictive stance, while Canada’s economic outlook remains clouded by slowing growth. The Bank of Canada’s cautious approach to rate adjustments has also weighed on the Canadian dollar.

Analysts suggest that any decision on tariffs could cause volatility, particularly if the measures are broader than expected. A more aggressive tariff stance from Washington could pressure Canada’s export-driven economy, potentially weakening the CAD further. Market participants are closely watching for official statements, which could dictate near-term movements.

Beyond tariffs, oil prices remain a key driver for the loonie, as Canada’s economy is heavily tied to crude exports. A recent downturn in oil markets has further limited the CAD’s ability to recover, reinforcing downside pressure against the U.S. dollar. Any rebound in energy prices could offer some support, but sentiment remains fragile.

Technical analysts note that the 1.4500 level serves as a critical resistance point, with a potential breakout leading to further gains for the USD/CAD. If the pair sustains momentum beyond this threshold, traders may target new highs, particularly if risk-off sentiment persists. Conversely, a retreat from current levels could indicate profit-taking.

With tariff decisions looming, the USD/CAD pair remains highly sensitive to trade policy shifts and broader economic trends. Market participants will look for clarity in the coming days, as any shift in sentiment could significantly influence direction.
