Canadian Dollar strengthens as Canadian GDP improves

The Canadian Dollar (CAD) experienced a slight boost against the US Dollar on Friday as key economic data from Canada and the US met market expectations. Canadian GDP saw a slight uptick, while US PCE inflation figures cooled slightly, both contributing to the CAD’s movement.

Canada posted a 0.3% increase in GDP growth in April, bouncing back from the previous month’s flat performance. Meanwhile, US PCE Price Index inflation eased to 2.6% YoY in May, meeting market forecasts and cooling from the previous 2.8%. These data points have further fueled market speculation of a potential rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September.

Market expectations for a rate cut from the Fed have increased, with the CME’s FedWatch Tool now pricing in 66% odds of at least a quarter-point rate trim on September 18. Additionally, University of Michigan’s 5-year Consumer Inflation Expectations dipped to 3.0% in June, while the Consumer Sentiment Index surged to 68.2, surpassing market forecasts.

In terms of currency performance, the Canadian Dollar was the strongest against the Japanese Yen on the day. The CAD also made gains against other major currencies, including the US Dollar, Euro, and British Pound. The technical analysis showed the CAD recovering ground on Friday, sending USD/CAD into familiar trading levels near the 200-hour Exponential Moving Average.

Key factors influencing the Canadian Dollar include interest rates set by the Bank of Canada, the price of oil, the health of Canada’s economy, inflation, and the Trade Balance. The BoC’s decisions on interest rates play a significant role in shaping the CAD’s value, with higher rates generally being positive for the currency. Oil prices also have a direct impact on the CAD due to Canada’s reliance on the commodity as a major export.

Inflation, which historically was seen as negative for a currency, now has a more positive effect due to increased global capital flows. Higher inflation can lead to central banks raising interest rates, attracting more capital inflows and increasing demand for the local currency. Macroeconomic data releases, such as GDP, PMIs, and consumer sentiment surveys, also play a role in influencing the CAD’s direction based on the overall health of the economy.
