CAD expected to rebound in Q2/Q3
Headwinds for the CAD remain in the form of negative spreads versus the USD and soft commodity prices at present.
Near-term, CAD losses may extend a little further but the 1.3500/1.3600 zone may offer some (technical) value for the CAD.
Seasonality turns CAD-positive in Q2/ Q3, lower rates globally in the months ahead will be positive for risk appetite (and, by extension, for the CAD).
We expect the Fed to cut rates more aggressively than the BoC through 2025 which should result in a CAD-supportive compression in term yield spreads in the months ahead.
