Current report
The Canadian dollar (CAD/USD) posted negative performance in 2024, mainly due to US dollar strength and weak energy prices. The Fed’s higher-for-longer rhetoric and US economic resilience pushed out expectations for rate cuts in the first half of the year; higher rates generally provide support for the country’s currency. While rising energy prices due to geopolitical tensions did limit some of the downside in Q1, this became a headwind in Q2 and Q3 as crude oil was pressured at first by recession concerns, and then low refining margins decreasing crude demand, the bearish Trump trade, expectations for a supply glut in 2025, and the OPEC spare capacity overhang. Geopolitical risk premium also faded with no real supply disruptions playing out. However, the pair took the deepest plunge in the fourth quarter with the US dollar soaring on President Trump’s victory. Many of his campaigned policies were expected to raise inflation risk, potentially leading to higher rates in 2025. In addition, tariffs generally weigh on foreign currencies, further boosting the USD.

Previous report
The Canadian Dollar (CAD/USD) posted a loss in 2022. As the only G10 currency to gain against the US dollar in 2021, the CAD continued its positive performance through the first quarter of the year, benefiting from surging oil prices resulting from the war in Ukraine and anticipation for more hawkish monetary policies from the Bank of Canada. However, dollar strength in the second and third quarter amid growing recession fears, boosting safe haven demand, and a more hawkish U.S. Federal Reserve System (the “Fed”) heavily weighed on the currency pair, while falling crude oil prices removed the soft floor for the CAD. Though prices rebounded a bit in the fourth quarter amid easing dollar pressure, it wasn’t enough to fully counter earlier losses.

Previous wording
During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Trust's net comprehensive income (loss) was, in part, impacted by market volatility resulting from the US banking sector turmoil, ambiguity around the Federal Reserve's tightening cycle, and rising geopolitical concerns from the conflict in the Middle East, for 2023, and uncertainty caused by the novel coronavirus known as COVID-19, as well as the Russia-Ukraine conflict, for 2022, which are considered to be unusual or infrequent events.
