In a statement, Iran said, "The Iranian Foreign Minister mentioned the US threat to attack Iranian energy facilities, considering these remarks a clear admission of war crimes."

Currently, Ukraine continues to attack Russian Baltic oil infrastructure; facilities at the port of Primorsk were damaged earlier on Sunday. Ukraines actions are aimed at curbing Russian export revenues. Global energy prices have risen due to the Middle East war. However, if Russia resumes a stable supply of crude oil from the Ust-Luga oil field, it could provide some relief to global markets turbulent due to Irans blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

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.
