Wright believes fuel prices will eventually fall.Canadas trade surplus widened in April, driven by record-high crude oil exports, though gold exports fell sharply. Statistics Canada reported on Tuesday that the countrys trade surplus reached C$2.72 billion in April, up from C$1.75 billion in March. This marks the second consecutive month of trade surplus and the largest monthly surplus since January 2025. Canadas trade surplus with the United States also reached its highest level since February 2025, after President Donald Trump first imposed tariffs. At that time, Trump had not yet imposed his first tariffs. Total exports rose 1.6% in April to C$75.2 billion, mainly due to overall growth. Energy exports contributed the most to the increase, with crude oil exports rising 7% in April due to higher oil prices. However, the export growth was offset by a 25.5% decline in exports of unprocessed gold, silver, and platinum group metals—primarily due to reduced gold exports to the United Kingdom. The sharp rise in gold and energy prices in recent months has supported Canadas trade balance, but gold prices fell as oil prices surged in April.

NZD/USD falls rapidly from 0.6260 when the RBNZ announces a decline in inflation projections to 3.07 percent

The NZD/USD pair has encountered selling pressure while attempting to surpass the immediate resistance level of 0.6260. The asset has seen bids after the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) announced inflation estimates at 3.07 percent, down from 3.29 percent previously. It could be an indication of waning price pressure, but additional evidence is still needed to support the argument.

 

Price pressures in the New Zealand economy are increasing and have not yet shown signs of weariness. A June report indicates that an inflation rate of 7.3% is adequate to generate headwinds for families. The RBNZ is consistently escalating its policy tightening measures to combat the same. RBNZ Governor Adrian Orr has already increased the Official Cash Rate by 2.50 percentage points.

 

On the front of the US dollar, the US dollar index (DXY) has returned all intraday gains and is currently trading near the day's open at 106.60. While attempting to break over the crucial resistance level of 106.80, the DXY has encountered selling pressure. This week, investors' attention is centered on Wednesday's release of the US Consumer Price Index (CPI).

 

The annual inflation rate is projected to continue at 8.7 percent, down from 9.1 percent in the previous report. Oil prices have been on a downward trend in July, which may be the determining factor for a significant decline in the price increase index. While the US CPI excluding volatile food and oil prices may increase from 5.9 percent to 6.1 percent, the previous reading was 5.9 percent.
