This week the Canadian currency has demonstrated considerable volatility and slumped by 0.62% on Thursday. The sink turned out to be a response to another wave of duties between China and America that came into effect on Thursday. The duties, valued at approximately $16 billion, showed up notwithstanding the fact that the sides were holding low-level trade negotiations at the same time. As anticipated, the negotiations didn’t bring any positive outcome. The further escalation in trade sanctions is undoubtedly a bad thing for the export-reliant Canadian economy. Additionally, it’s also putting pressure on investor risk appetite for minor currencies, including Canada’s currency. If American imposes further duties on its trading partners, then the Canadian dollar is going to sailing into mighty headwinds.
