USD/CAD: Declines to re-emerge, possibly before year-end – MUFG
|The Canadian Dollar weakened in October and was the third worst performing G10 currency across G10. Economists at MUFG Bank analyze Loonie’s outlook.
USD/CAD is now overshooting fair value
Based on our own short-term valuation model incorporating crude oil price and interest rate moves, USD/CAD is now overshooting fair value. This could well persist while the window for US Dollar strength persists but we now see limits to the scale of upside for USD/CAD from here and would expect declines to re-emerge, possibly before year-end.
A broadening of the Hamas-Israel conflict could see crude oil prices rise further at these higher USD/CAD levels should help support CAD.
