Canadian Dollar Outlook: USD/CAD
USD/CAD appears to be coiling within the opening range for June as it falls from a fresh weekly high (1.3729), but the exchange rate may track the negative slope in the 50-Day SMA (1.3880) as it holds below the moving average.
Canadian Dollar Forecast: USD/CAD Coils Within June Opening Range
USD/CAD seems to be defending the decline following the Bank of Canada (BoC) meeting as it pulls back ahead of the monthly high (1.3743), and the range bound price action in the exchange rate may turn out to be temporary as Governor Tiff Macklem and Co. appear to be at or nearing the end of its rate-cutting cycle.

In turn, USD/CAD may struggle to retain the advance from the October low (1.3473) as the Federal Reserve keeps the door open to implement lower interest rates, and data prints coming out of the US may sway the exchange rate as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) is expected to show sticky inflation.
US Economic Calendar
The update to the US CPI is anticipated to show an uptick in both the headline and core reading for inflation, and signs of persistent price growth may encourage the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to keep US interest rates on hold as ‘the tariff increases announced so far have been significantly larger than anticipated.’
In turn, USD/CAD may attempt to retrace the decline from the start of the month if the US CPI curb speculation for an imminent Fed rate-cut, but a softer-than-expected inflation report may drag on the Greenback as it puts pressure on FOMC to cut US interest rates.
With that said, USD/CAD may snap the range bound price action as it holds below the 50-Day (1.3880), and the exchange rate may continue to give back the advance from the October low (1.3473) as it seems to be tracking the negative slope in the moving average.
USD/CAD Price Chart – Daily
Chart Prepared by David Song, Senior Strategist; USD/CAD Price on TradingView
- USD/CAD pulls back from a fresh weekly high (1.3729) to snap the recent series of higher highs and lows, with a break/close below 1.3630 (38.2% Fibonacci extension) bringing the 1.3510 (50% Fibonacci extension) to 1.3520 (23.6% Fibonacci extension) region on the radar.
- Next area of interest comes in around the October low (1.3473), but failure to push/close below 1.3630 (38.2% Fibonacci extension) may keep USD/CAD within the opening range for June.
- Nevertheless, a move/close above 1.3780 (23.6% Fibonacci extension) may push USD/CAD back toward 1.3850 (50% Fibonacci extension), with the next area of interest coming in around 1.3940 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement) to 1.4000 (61.8% Fibonacci extension).

When looking at the major tech-heavy US indices like the S&P 500 or the Nasdaq 100, you wouldn’t think that the stock market is particularly weak. Yet, beneath the surface, the market is far from healthy right now. Investors are evidently just piling into the big tech and AI names, and as a result, market breadth is deteriorating. Other indices like the small cap Russell 2000 and the Dow Jones are starting to reflect that weakness.
