The Canadian dollar is heading toward a third consecutive weekly decline, driven by the widening yield spread between Canadian and U.S. bonds. This has caused the Canadian currency to fall by 1.2% over the week, and it has decreased by 0.1% to reach 1.4152 against the U.S. dollar. The decline is attributed to a 6.2 basis point drop in Canadian two-year bond yields, the widest spread since February 2025, which reduces the attractiveness of the currency. Meanwhile, U.S. bond yields have also fallen as demand for the dollar increases due to expectations of a U.S. interest rate hike. Additionally, Canadian oil prices have declined amid growing prospects for de-escalation between the United States and Iran.
