USD/CAD Extends Losses as Oil Prices Surge Due to Supply Concerns
USD/CAD continues to lose ground, trading near 1.3730 in early Monday sessions, marking the seventh straight session of decline. This prolonged downside trend can largely be traced back to increasing oil prices driven by market concerns over supply shortages. The Canadian Dollar (CAD) remains relatively strong during this period, supported by substantial gains in oil, reflecting Canada’s significant dependence on energy exports.
Market Reaction to Oil Supply Concerns
As oil prices rise due to heightened supply concerns, many investors anticipate further fluctuations in the USD/CAD exchange rate. Higher oil prices tend to favour the Canadian economy, often resulting in a stronger CAD relative to the US dollar.
