USD/CAD climbs above 1.4400 as US Dollar prevails on Fed’s cautious policy outlook

The USD/CAD pair has climbed above 1.4400 as the US Dollar reaches a two-year high against other major currencies. Investors are expecting the Federal Reserve (Fed) to implement a more moderate rate-cut cycle this year, leading to a stronger USD compared to previous years.

The US Dollar Index (DXY) shows that the Greenback has hit a more than two-year high at 108.60, reflecting the strength of the USD in the current market scenario. Fed officials have indicated that there will be fewer interest rate cuts this year due to their confidence in the US economic outlook. This has led to the expectation that interest rates will rise gradually, reaching 3.9% by 2025 according to the latest dot plot released by policymakers.

Investors will be closely watching a series of US labor market-related economic indicators to gauge the need for further interest rate cuts. These indicators will provide insight into the current labor demand by US employers and will play a significant role in shaping market expectations for the future.

The US Dollar’s performance in the coming days will also be influenced by the release of the ISM Manufacturing PMI data for December. The PMI report is expected to indicate a slight contraction in manufacturing activities, with a reading of 48.3 compared to the previous release of 48.4, signaling a faster pace of contraction.

On the other hand, the Canadian Dollar (CAD) is expected to continue its bearish trend as the Bank of Canada (BoC) plans to ease monetary policy further. BoC officials are concerned about the risk of inflation falling below the bank’s target of 2%, leading to expectations of continued policy easing.

The US Dollar’s value is primarily impacted by monetary policy decisions made by the Federal Reserve (Fed). The Fed’s dual mandates of achieving price stability and fostering full employment shape their interest rate decisions, which, in turn, influence the value of the USD. The Fed can employ measures such as raising or lowering interest rates, printing more Dollars, or enacting quantitative easing (QE) and quantitative tightening (QT) to achieve its goals.

In extreme situations, the Federal Reserve may resort to printing more Dollars and implementing QE to increase the flow of credit in the financial system. QE involves the Fed buying US government bonds from financial institutions to stimulate economic activity. On the other hand, QT involves the Fed stopping bond purchases and not reinvesting the proceeds from maturing bonds, which can contribute to a stronger US Dollar. Overall, the US Dollar’s value is closely tied to the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy decisions and economic indicators.
