He said, "If we are to export some high-tech equipment to Vietnam, they need to align with us on export controls and other matters." "We want other countries to lower tariffs, eliminate non-tariff barriers restricting U.S. exports of goods and services, and strengthen cooperation in areas such as economic security. As for intellectual property standards, we want them to also adhere to the rules our companies follow." Vietnamese officials are holding a new round of negotiations in Washington this week, hoping to reach a trade agreement amid three U.S. investigations into their trade practices. Trade negotiations between the two countries have stalled due to U.S. demands for stricter rules of origin, stronger measures to prevent transshipment, and disagreements on market access and non-tariff barriers.

USD/CAD Bears In Control And Aiming At Support Zone Lows

The USD/CAD exchange rate is unchanged on the day after a succession of negative impulses drove the price into new territory to the downside and deeper into a support region as a result of the oil price rally. The USD/CAD exchange rate was 1.3431 at the time of writing.

 

Monday's 6.3% rise in West Texas Intermediate WTI crude oil to an intraday high of $81.51 strengthened the CAD. The oil price surged after the OPEC+ cartel surprised the market with a production cut of 1.1 million barrels per day to support prices, with the cartel announcing that it will reduce output prior to Monday's ministerial meeting.

 

Analysts at TD Securities observed that the Bank of Canada's Business/Consumer Surveys painted a more dovish picture ahead of the April BoC meeting, with a marked improvement in capacity pressures and consumer inflation expectations.

 

Analysts noted that firm-level inflation expectations continue to be elevated and that consumer growth and income expectations have also increased since the fourth quarter.

 

''The Bank of Canada should be pleased with these results, which indicate a decline in capacity pressures and a moderation in inflationary pressures. However, inflation expectations remain a formidable impediment to near-term relief. If growth does not decelerate substantially in the second quarter, it may be difficult for the Bank of Canada to keep rates at 4.50 percent. Analysts believe that the report is optimistic for CAD.
