However, the downside of the USD/CAD pair could be limited as the US Dollar may regain its ground due to new tariff threats following the US President Donald Trump’s latest threat to impose “very severe” tariffs on Russia if no peace deal is reached within 50 days. Additionally, Trump also confirmed that European allies will purchase billions of dollars’ worth of American-made weapons, including Patriot missile systems, which will be transferred to Ukraine.
The commodity-linked Canadian Dollar (CAD) could face challenges as crude Oil prices continue to depreciate amid easing concerns over potential supply. This follows US President Donald Trump giving Russia a 50-day deadline to agree to a ceasefire. Trump threatened Russia on Monday to end its war in Ukraine within that time frame or face tariffs of up to 100%.
