What you need to know:
RBC modified its CAD forecast profile in June, turning bullish on USD/CAD into year end 2026 and maintaining a bearish stance for 2027.
With USD/CAD having peaked near 1.4250 and returning below 1.4000, we revisit the factors that drove the forecast revisions.
We identify a change in the US dollar's safe haven status as a developing risk to our view.
In addition, joint Fed/BoJ intervention in USD/JPY and bruised Fed credibility are new short-term developments that have challenged our view.
Other factors, such as asset flows and rate differentials remain supportive of the USD, with trade uncertainty continuing to linger in the background.
