The global foreign exchange market continues to shift rapidly as major economies release mixed economic data. The U.S. dollar remains firmly supported, driven by resilient economic performance and slower-than-expected inflation moderation. This has allowed the USD to maintain upward momentum against most major currencies.
In contrast, the Canadian dollar faces pressure as domestic growth slows and expectations for future rate cuts increase. Recent economic indicators suggest that the CAD may experience limited short-term upside unless stronger data emerges in the coming weeks.
The Chinese renminbi remains stable within a managed and predictable range. Supported by targeted policy measures and relatively stable cross-border flows, the RMB continues to show two-way movement without significant deviation, reflecting a steady approach to market expectations.
Looking ahead, several key factors will shape market sentiment:
U.S. Federal Reserve policy direction – Any signal regarding the path of interest rates will directly influence USD momentum.
Canada’s employment and inflation data – These releases will determine whether the CAD can regain short-term strength.
RMB policy guidance – Regulatory measures and cross-border liquidity trends will continue to stabilize RMB fluctuations.
While short-term volatility remains, the overall FX outlook will continue to be shaped by macroeconomic fundamentals and policy expectations. Individuals and businesses planning cross-border transactions should monitor data releases closely and consider exchange timing in advance.
