The BoC's hawkish hold at 2.25% combined with WTI crude surging +2.2% to $83.60 on US-Iran Strait of Hormuz tensions creates a classic dual-engine CAD tailwind, leaving USDCAD vulnerable to a clean break below the 1.4000 round number.
USDCAD has broken below the 1.4050 consolidation floor and is testing the key 1.4000 round-number support — its strongest CAD level since June — driven by a hawkish BoC hold at 2.25% and oil at $83.60 supporting the Loonie.
