加元兑美元汇率高于1.38,接近上周触及的七个月高点,仍强于2月份的22年低点1.4793,此前加拿大成功避免了美国对其出口的广泛关税。加元继续受益于美元普遍疲软,因为投资者关注贸易发展,并对美国经济和财政前景表示日益担忧。在国内方面,市场正在等待周五公布的加拿大第一季度GDP数据,以更清楚地了解经济表现。与此同时,交易员们对加拿大央行下周是否会再次降息仍存在分歧。最新的CPI报告显示,总体通胀率下降主要是由于碳税削减,但中国央行密切关注的核心通胀率上升。
The Canadian dollar traded above 1.38 per USD, close to seven-month highs touched last week and remaining stronger than the 22-year low of 1.4793 seen in February, before Canada successfully avoided broad US tariffs on its exports. The loonie continues to benefit from general US dollar weakness, as investors monitor trade developments and express growing concerns over the US economic and fiscal outlook. On the domestic front, markets are awaiting Canada’s first-quarter GDP figures, due Friday, for a clearer picture of the economy’s performance. Meanwhile, traders remain divided on whether the Bank of Canada will deliver another rate cut next week. The latest CPI report showed headline inflation fell mainly due to a carbon tax cut, but core inflation, which the BoC watches closely, rose.
