Line chart of the Bank of Canada USD/CAD daily exchange rate from September 8 to October 7, 2026, rising in small steps.

The Canadian dollar has weakened in 19 of the 20 sessions covered, with no single day larger than 0.39%, so the decline does not stand out in daily headlines. It also did not follow oil: a 3.8% Brent jump on October 8 left the exchange rate essentially unchanged. For Canadian investors, the slide widens the gap between unhedged United States equity returns and the TSX.
