Sign InThe Canadian Dollar (CAD) is currently lagging behind its high-beta peers, failing to capitalize on robust economic data from the United States. According to MUFG analyst Lee Hardman, the currency is facing downward pressure as markets begin to price in risks associated with the upcoming USMCA trade deal renewal. Concerns over potential friction during the renegotiation process between the US, Mexico, and Canada are creating a significant risk premium for the CAD. Trade uncertainty with Canada’s largest trading partner typically triggers underperformance and heightened volatility in the foreign exchange markets. Investors are increasingly cautious, focusing on how these political developments might impact the Bank of Canada’s policy path and overall economic stability.
