Higher oil prices are favorable for the Canadian Dollar, given that Canada is the largest oil exporter in the world.
Middle East conflicts have escalated as Iran vows to retaliate if military from the United States (US) or Israel attacks Iran’s power plants. Over the weekend, US President Donald Trump threatened to obliterate Tehran’s power plants if it doesn’t open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours.
On the domestic front, the Bank of Canada (BoC) is unlikely to cut interest rates in the near term, as higher oil prices have de-anchored inflation projections.
Meanwhile, the US Dollar (USD) outperforms as Iran conflicts have increased its safe-haven demand. As of writing, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, trades 0.4% higher to near 99.90.
