The latest Fed rate hike has reinforced the greenback's yield advantage across G10 pairs, and USD/CAD is no exception. With US policymakers signaling a firmer stance on inflation control, the interest rate differential between Washington and Ottawa continues to favor dollar strength against the loonie.
The Bank of Canada has yet to match this hawkish tone, leaving traders to price in a widening policy gap. Unless Canadian data surprises to the upside, this divergence could keep USD/CAD supported on dips, with markets watching for any shift in BoC rhetoric that might narrow the spread.
