The USD/CAD pair fluctuates within a constrained range of 1.3006-1.3023 during the Asian session. Despite a rise in market participants' risk appetite, the asset is doing poorly. Investors should be concerned that the USD/CAD pair has experienced only a little dip while the US dollar index (DXY) is falling sharply. This implies that the Canadian dollar is weaker as well and that the asset's auction performance was underwhelming.

 

The strengthening of the Canadian dollar may be related to higher inflation rate projections. The market forecast for the upcoming economic report on Wednesday is 8.8%, which is much higher than the forecast for the most recent release of 7.7%. The pace of inflation in the Canadian economy is surging uncontrollably. It mostly has an impact on household income.

 

In the meantime, as market mood has improved, the US dollar index (DXY) has dropped under Friday's low of 107.92. Investors believe that the United States has experienced its peak in pricing pressure. But according to James Bullard, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, inflation might come as a pleasant surprise.

 

Due to growing economic worries, oil prices are plummeting precipitously on the energy market. The goal of major central banks is to bring about price stability in their respective economies. As a result, policy tightening is necessary to address the inflation problem. Given that the forecasts for oil demand have been significantly revised downward, this has a negative effect on market mood. Being the biggest oil supplier to the US, Canada has suffered as a result of falling oil prices, which has hurt the loonie bulls.
