Euro recovers early losses against Canadian Dollar, BoC policy eyed
The Euro (EUR) claws back its early losses and turns slightly positive at around 1.6170 against the Canadian Dollar (CAD) during the European trading session on Monday. The cross bounces back as the Euro strengthens amid hopes that the ongoing aggression in the Middle East won’t be prolonged.
A spokesperson from the Iranian Foreign Ministry has confirmed that efforts from Qatar, Oman, and Pakistan to mediate tensions with the United States (US) continue.
The impact of easing fears of a prolonged US-Iran war is also visible on oil prices and the US Dollar. At press time, the WTI Oil price trades 2.13% higher to near $73 but has given back a majority of its gains after surging to near $75.00. The US Dollar Index (DXY), which gauges the Greenback’s value against six major currencies, turns upside down to near 100.80.
The Canadian Dollar has also given back a majority of its early gains, with oil prices easing significant gains.
Going forward, investors will focus on the Bank of Canada’s (BoC) monetary policy announcement on Wednesday, in which the central bank is expected to leave interest rates unchanged at 2.25%. Investors will pay close attention to comments regarding inflation and the economic outlook.
In the Eurozone, investors await fresh cues regarding whether the European Central Bank (ECB) will deliver one more interest rate hike this year.
