USD/CAD trades around 1.3665 on Tuesday, up 0.27% on the day, rebounding after briefly dipping below the 1.3600 mark on Monday. The upside move remains limited in a context shaped by diverging fundamental forces.
Support comes primarily from renewed risk aversion driven by uncertainty surrounding US-Iran talks. Ongoing tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global energy flows, are boosting demand for safe-haven assets such as the US Dollar (USD). The US Dollar Index (DXY) is also advancing, trading near 98.75, up 0.25%, reflecting this trend.
However, the pair’s gains are restrained by strong Oil prices. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) trades near $98.60 per barrel, supported by supply disruptions in the Middle East. This strength benefits the Canadian Dollar (CAD), as Canada is a major energy exporter, thereby limiting further upside in USD/CAD.
At the same time, investors remain cautious ahead of key central bank decisions. The Federal Reserve (Fed) is widely expected to keep its policy rate unchanged within the 3.5%-3.75% range, while the Bank of Canada (BoC) is also anticipated to hold rates steady around 2.25%. Forward guidance will be closely watched, particularly as higher energy prices could rekindle inflationary pressures.
This mixed backdrop, combining safe-haven support for the US Dollar and commodity-driven strength for the Canadian Dollar, keeps traders on the sidelines. The next directional move in USD/CAD will likely depend on signals from central banks and developments in Middle East geopolitical tensions.
