The Canadian dollar weakened to 1.39 per USD in early June, its lowest level in eight weeks, as escalating trade tensions and renewed conflict in the Middle East boosted demand for the US dollar. Tensions in the Gulf intensified after Iranian attacks on Kuwait, while US strikes near the Strait of Hormuz and limited diplomatic progress clouded prospects for a resolution. The stronger greenback pressured major currencies broadly. Domestically, Canada’s economy contracted at an annualized rate of 0.1% in the first quarter, following a revised 1.0% contraction in the previous quarter, highlighting persistent economic weakness. Meanwhile, S&P Global data showed Canada’s services sector returned to modest growth in May. However, firms reported heightened uncertainty linked to Middle East tensions, while higher fuel prices contributed to the fastest increase in operating costs in four years.
