This decline was primarily driven by a weakening US Dollar (USD), which continues to be the dominant force influencing the pair, especially in the absence of significant economic data releases from Canada.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As traders turn their attention to the week&#8217;s key events, the spotlight intensifies on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, scheduled to conclude on Wednesday. This meeting is crucial as it could provide insights into future monetary policy directions. Although no rate changes are anticipated at this meeting, the tone adopted by Fed Chair Jerome Powell and other committee members is expected to lean towards the hawkish side. Powell has previously emphasized the need for the central bank to be more confident that inflation is consistently trending towards its 2% target before considering any rate cuts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The probability of a rate cut by the Federal Reserve has seen a noticeable shift in investor expectations. Last week, the likelihood of a rate reduction in July was pegged at 50%, but this has now dropped to 25%. By September, however, markets have priced in nearly a 60% chance of a rate cut, as per the CME FedWatch tool.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recent inflation data from the US further complicates the economic landscape. The Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index, a key measure of inflation, rose to 2.7% year-over-year (YoY) in March, up from 2.5% in February and surpassing market expectations of 2.6%. The Core PCE, which is closely watched by the Fed, increased to 2.8% YoY, also above the consensus of 2.6%.On the Canadian side, the policy stance of the Bank of Canada (BoC) is under scrutiny.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite a recent split among its governing council members regarding the timing of interest rate reductions, there is a broad expectation that the BoC might begin to lower rates as early as June or July. Such a move could potentially place downward pressure on the Canadian Dollar (CAD), although this might be somewhat mitigated by Canada\u2019s inflation rate, which at 2.9% in March, sits comfortably within the BoC&#8217;s target range of 1-3%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adding to the complexities is the performance of crude oil prices, which traditionally influence the CAD due to Canada&#8217;s status as the largest crude oil exporter to the United States. A decline in crude oil prices has been exerting additional selling pressure on the CAD, further influencing the USD\/CAD trading dynamics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the week progresses, market participants will closely monitor these developments, particularly the outcomes of the FOMC meeting and subsequent US employment data, to gauge potential directions for the USD\/CAD pair.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>USD\/CAD Drops Below 1.3650 Amid Weaker US Dollar The USD\/CAD currency pair experienced a dip to 1.3645 during the early European trading hours on Monday, marking its lowest point in nearly three weeks.
