The primary driver of USD/CAD positioning in late 2026 remains the persistent Fed-BoC policy divergence, with the federal funds rate held at 3.50–3.75% while the Bank of Canada overnight rate sits at 2.25%, sustaining a wide yield spread that supports the pair near current levels around 1.377–1.38. Recent softer U.S. employment and GDP prints have tempered near-term hike expectations, while improving Canadian retail sales, manufacturing PMI, and July job gains have bolstered the loonie alongside elevated oil prices. Ongoing U.S.-Canada tariff negotiations and potential CUSMA adjustments introduce volatility, with markets pricing limited BoC easing versus possible Fed tightening later in the year. Key upcoming catalysts include the September BoC and FOMC meetings plus August CPI and employment data, which will shape rate-path revisions and the likelihood of testing resistance near 1.40 or support at 1.36–1.37 before year-end.
