EUR/CAD inches lower after three days of gains, trading around 1.6090 during the Asian hours on Monday. The currency cross struggles as the commodity-linked Canadian Dollar (CAD) gains ground amid higher oil prices, given Canada’s status as the largest crude exporter to the United States (US).

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil price have surged toward $95.70 per barrel following President Donald Trump’s rejection of Iran’s latest peace proposal, which he labeled totally unacceptable on Truth Social. Meanwhile, global attention turns to Beijing this Wednesday, where Trump is scheduled to discuss the Iranian conflict and broader trade issues with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The Middle East tensions have kept the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed, driving significant gains for the commodity-linked Canadian Dollar (CAD) as Canada maintains its position as the primary crude exporter to the United States (US).

While the EUR/CAD cross has struggled under the weight of rising energy costs, the Euro (EUR) may soon find a floor as market participants pivot toward a hawkish European Central Bank (ECB) outlook. With a 25-basis-point hike anticipated in June and a total of three increases expected by the end of 2026, the policy shift could provide necessary support for the Euro.
