Broad USD Weakness — EUR/USD +0.4% to 1.1568 and GBP/USD +0.4% confirm DXY selling pressure weighing on USDCAD.
WTI Crude Oil at $81.6 — Stable oil above $80 underpins CAD; sustained hold lifts CAD, pressuring pair toward 1.3850.
Fed vs BoC Rate Differential — Both central banks near terminal rates; narrowing US-Canada spread limits USD upside above 1.4000.
