Reuters said the Canadian dollar weakened to an 18-month low on October 9 following disappointing employment data that reduced Bank of Canada tightening expectations.
What was reported
Reuters said the Canadian dollar weakened to an 18-month low on October 9 following disappointing employment data that reduced Bank of Canada tightening expectations.
Why it matters
USD/CAD rises when the Canadian dollar loses value against the greenback, but oil and U.S. rates also influence the pair. The employment surprise should be compared with wages, participation and future revisions.
What to watch
Watch forthcoming BoC commentary and U.S. inflation rather than relying on Friday's exchange-rate observation.
