Line chart showing USD/CAD jumping 0.51 percent to 1.3833 as the Canadian dollar's recent rally reversed.

USD/CAD drifted from 1.3941 on August 12 to 1.37635 by Friday, the loonie's best stretch in three months, built on narrowing US-Canada yield spreads and factory data suggesting Canada's economy was holding up better than feared. Monday reversed nearly all of that move, as the collapse of US-Canada trade talks and Ottawa's retaliatory tariffs, a direct hit to the trade balance that a rate cut cannot fully offset, repriced the currency within hours. The reversal was the pair's sharpest single-day move in more than two months.
