CAD/JPY showed a minor pullback as the Canadian dollar gained momentum. It hit an intraday high of 103.36 and is currently trading around 103.16.
U.S.-Canadian trade relations are on high alert following President Trump and Ontario Premier Ford backing down on tariff threats. Canada's future Prime Minister, Mark Carney, said that he is prepared to provide openness to negotiations on the trade talks with the U.S., but there will be a focus on the sovereignty of Canada being respected. Even though Canada just threatened retaliatory tariffs on CAD 29.8 billion imports from the United States, such reversals of further escalation are positive signs towards future negotiations even with current difficulties
