USD/CAD: Oil support and softer US trade stance cap upside – HSBC
|HSBC Global Research views USD/CAD as largely driven by the broader Dollar trend, with the pair trading slightly below levels implied by rate spreads, reflecting Canadian Dollar resilience. Elevated Oil prices linked to Middle East tensions are supportive. With tariff uncertainty easing and a potentially less aggressive US trade stance into midterms, a sharp USD/CAD rise is seen as unlikely.
