USD/CAD extends its advance for a second consecutive day and trades around 1.4230 at the time of writing on Monday, up 0.20% on the day. Despite higher Oil prices, which would normally support the commodity-linked Canadian Dollar (CAD), the Loonie remains under pressure against the US Dollar (USD) as investors continue to favor the Greenback.

Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is gradually returning to normal after disruptions over the weekend, while the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies (OPEC+) approved a 188K-barrel-per-day production increase for next month, led by Saudi Arabia and Russia.

Meanwhile, the US ISM Services Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) eased slightly to 54 in June from 54.5 previously, matching market expectations.

According to Scotiabank, the Canadian Dollar retains a soft bias despite narrower short-term yield spreads between Canada and the United States (USD). The bank notes that confirmation of the non-renewal of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) extends trade uncertainty for Canadian exporters. Analysts also expect the Bank of Canada's (BoC) Business Outlook Survey to reflect this cautious environment. While the Canadian Dollar remains fundamentally undervalued, Scotiabank believes that this undervaluation has narrowed steadily, limiting the currency's upside potential in the near term.
