The currency pair trades slightly higher after recent Trump’s tariff. It hit an intraday high of 0.91958 and is currently trading around 0.91664. The intraday bias appears to be bullish as long as the support level at 0.9070 holds.
The recent tariffs imposed by President Trump have severely dented the Canadian dollar (CAD) as it declined by over 1.5% compared to the U.S. dollar (USD). He started charging 25% tariffs on most Canadian goods and 10% on energy exports effective February 4, 2025, which compelled Canada to retaliate with similar tariffs on U.S. goods. Economists argue that these tariffs will decrease Canada's GDP by about 2.5% and increase the unemployment rate. They may result in higher consumer goods prices and more pressure on households. Therefore, the entire situation may result in a recession and more market volatility.
