Line chart showing USD/CAD declining as the Canadian dollar strengthens to 1.3764 per US dollar.

The Canadian dollar strengthened to 1.3764 per US dollar Friday, an unusual decoupling from a spike in US long-bond yields that points to a US-specific driver rather than one tied to Canadian conditions. The move followed a sharp single-day drop earlier in the week around a US Treasury buyback announcement, ground the loonie has largely held rather than given back since.
