Current report
The Canadian Dollar (CAD) received some support during the first quarter of 2026 from higher energy prices, reflecting Canada’s role as a major energy exporter. Despite this tailwind, the Fund posted negative performance as broad gains in the U.S. dollar placed sustained pressure on the currency. While short‑term Canadian interest rates continued to generate income and helped offset expenses, they remained below U.S. rates and provided limited support. At the same time, geopolitics‑driven risk‑off sentiment reduced investor appetite for the typically more risk‑sensitive CAD. As a result, U.S. dollar strength ultimately drove a modest decline in Fund performance during the quarter.
Current report
The Canadian Dollar ended the first quarter of 2025 flat. Despite U.S. dollar weakness due to recession and stagflation concerns, tariff tensions with the US and plunging oil prices kept the lid on gains. With Canada being one of the first targets of President Trump’s tariff policies, the country’s economic outlook soured. Furthermore, turmoil in U.S. financial markets led to a broader risk off move that included commodities, which negatively impacted the CAD given the country is a major energy exporter.

Previous report
The Canadian Dollar (CAD/USD) declined in the third quarter of 2025. Weak employment data, a softer inflation print, a large miss in the second quarter of 2025 annualized GDP, and tariff-related headwinds all weighed on the CAD. The Bank of Canada also cut interest rates by 0.25% in September. While USD weakness provided some support it the first half of the year, the dollar’s regained strength during the quarter added additional pressure on the CAD. Furthermore, with Canada being a major oil exporter, falling energy prices amid mounting concerns about an upcoming global oil supply overhang continued to keep the ceiling on the pair.
Previous report
The Canadian dollar (CAD/USD) ended the third quarter of 2024 higher, largely due to the downturn in the US dollar; the Fed officially kicked off its easing cycle in September. However, the downturn in energy prices limited the upside given Canada is a major crude oil exporter. A subdued Canadian economy has also been a headwind for the CAD and has increased the call for a supersized rate cut; the Bank of Canada has already eased three times this year, for a total of 0.75% of cuts.
Previous report
The Canadian Dollar (CAD/USD) appreciated in the first three quarters of 2025, mainly supported by a weaker US dollar. The majority of the gains occurred in the second quarter, when stronger Canadian inflation data lowered the chances of the Bank of Canada cutting rates, which boosted the CAD even amid challenges from weaker energy prices. Q3 pared some of these gains as a deteriorating macro backdrop paved the way for the resumption of the Bank of Canada's easing cycle, and the USD gained some ground. However, sustained weakness in oil prices weighed on the CAD for the entirety of the period, outweighing the positive impact from USD depreciation.

Previous wording
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Trust's net comprehensive income (loss) was, in part, impacted by market volatility resulting from global tariff gyrations and mounting U.S. economic uncertainty for 2025, and expectations around the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) easing and heightened geopolitical concerns for both 2024 and 2025, which are considered to be unusual or infrequent events.
