Dovish Fed Minutes Cast Shadow Over USD/CAD Momentum

The latest FOMC minutes revealed a committee increasingly open to policy easing, a shift that has already rippled through dollar pairs. USD/CAD traders are recalibrating positioning as the rate-differential narrative between the Fed and the Bank of Canada evolves heading into month-end.

This dovish tone matters because it narrows the yield advantage the dollar has held over the loonie for much of the year. If the upcoming PCE data confirms cooling inflation, expect the Fed's easing bias to solidify, adding downward pressure on USD/CAD in the sessions ahead.

Momentum indicators are showing early signs of fatigue in dollar strength, and market participants will be watching whether this translates into a sustained shift in USD/CAD flow or merely a short-lived pullback.
