The Canadian Dollar declines for a second day as safe-haven USD demand and a dovish Bank of Canada tone lift the pair to 1.3810.
USD/CAD climbs to 1.3810 in early European trading, extending gains for a second consecutive session. The move is driven by a stronger US Dollar amid risk-off sentiment and a dovish tone from the Bank of Canada, which has weighed on the Canadian currency.
The pair’s rise follows a shift in market expectations, with investors pricing in potential BoC rate cuts sooner than previously anticipated. Safe-haven flows into the USD have also supported the move, as geopolitical tensions persist.
No immediate market reaction data was provided, but the trend reflects broader macroeconomic sentiment shifts.
