USD/CAD news for September 22, 2026
The Canadian dollar has traded near its lowest levels since early August as contrast between a hawkish Fed and a steady Bank of Canada has coincided with broad US dollar strength. Moves in oil prices around US-Iran talks and Hormuz reopening discussions, along with trade tensions and Bank of Canada Governor Macklem's comments on inflation drifting higher amid lingering uncertainty, are shaping context for the pair.
