Canadian Dollar drops on softened business sentiment
|During Monday's trading session, the Canadian Dollar depreciated around 0.61% or 81 pips against the US Dollar.

According to the Bank of Canada, business sentiment softened due to global trade headwinds and geopolitical tensions. Some firms referred to the US political uncertainty, as well the US-China trade wars.
