**Why Sell USD/CAD?**
**🇺🇸 U.S. Dollar (USD):**
* **U.S. growth is slowing**
→ *Losing steam. A weaker economy means less support for the dollar.*
* **Inflation still above 2%**
→ *Sticky, but not scary. Not enough heat for the Fed to tighten further — dollar stays dull.*
* **Fed is on pause, no rate hikes ahead**
→ *The engine's idling. No fuel to push USD higher.*
* **Market heavily short USD**
→ *Traders are already betting against it — and they might be right. Momentum is down.*
---
**🇨🇦 Canadian Dollar (CAD):**
* **Oil prices are back above \$70**
→ *Oil is CAD’s lifeline — and it’s flowing again. That props up the loonie.*
* **BoC holding rates with a neutral tone**
→ *Not cutting, not panicking. Steady hands support CAD.*
* **Core inflation still high (CPI-trim \~3.1%)**
→ *Quiet pressure. Enough to keep the BoC on alert — a silent strength for CAD.*
* **More traders turning bullish on CAD**
→ *The crowd’s shifting — and the loonie is starting to feel the love.*
* **CAD still sensitive to risk-off mood**
→ *If markets panic, CAD could slip. But for now, risk is manageable.*
