The USDCAD has continued its rebound from last week’s low at 1.37317, with the price moving above both its 100-hour and 200-hour moving averages. That has shifted the short-term technical bias more in favor of the buyers.The fundamental catalyst behind the move back higher has been the breakdown in the latest U.S.-Canada trade negotiations over the weekend. Recall that yesterday U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said the U.S. offered Canada significant concessions in the latest trade ne...

The scale of this deviation stands out because it comes against a backdrop of broad dollar softness, with the index still hovering near three-month lows on fiscal and debt sustainability concerns. Under normal conditions a weak dollar would be expected to pull USD/CNY lower more freely, so the unusually wide gap suggests the PBOC is working harder than usual to offset that external pull rather than reacting to any fresh domestic weakness. This fits a pattern seen repeatedly since February, where...

China operates a managed floating exchange rate system, under which the renminbi (yuan) is allowed to trade within a prescribed band around a central reference rate, or midpoint, set each trading day by the PBOC. The current trading band permits the currency to move plus or minus 2%...

The dollar's slide to its weakest level since May reflects a shift in the rates backdrop rather than a single catalyst, with the Treasury's expanded buyback plan adding to pressure on medium and long-term yields already primed for lower Fed expectations. HSBC's framing suggests near-term price action will stay driven by incoming data and rate pricing rather than the structural concerns building beneath the surface, meaning a September Fed hold could extend the greenback's slide. On the other sid...
