Current trend
The US dollar strengthens against the Canadian one after a sharp decline at the end of last week, caused by the release of an ambiguous report on the US labor market.
The introduction of tariffs for the import of steel and aluminum into the United States hit hard on the Canadian currency, but the unexpected decision to release Canada from these payments should have a favorable effect on the CAD rate in the near future. In addition, investors are closely watching the prospect of raising the Fed's interest rates this year, the first of which is scheduled for March.
Today, the speech of the head of the Bank of Canada Stephen Poloz (16:30 GMT+2) is scheduled, high volatility is expected on the market. One should also pay attention to the release of the data on CPI from USA (16:45 GMT+2).
