加元兑美元汇率升至1.41美元,在4月3日接近近四个月高点,这是在美元普遍走弱的情况下采取的国内保障措施。特朗普总统最近暂停了90天的互惠关税——不包括中国,中国的关税已提高到125%——缓解了更广泛的贸易紧张局势,抑制了美元,从而增强了加元的吸引力。在国内,加拿大自4月9日起对不符合USMCA的车辆迅速征收25%的反关税,保护了主要出口部门,增强了贸易预期,增强了投资者信心。此外,在能源市场需求前景改善的推动下,原油价格的复苏进一步支持了与出口挂钩的加拿大经济。
The Canadian dollar strengthened toward $1.41, nearing its recent four-month high on April 3rd, as domestic safeguards amid a broadly weaker U.S. dollar. President Trump’s recent 90-day suspension of reciprocal tariffs—excluding China, for which tariffs have been raised to 125%—has alleviated broader trade tensions and dampened the greenback, thereby enhancing the appeal of the loonie. Domestically, Canada’s swift imposition of a 25% counter tariff on non-USMCA compliant vehicles, effective April 9, has shielded key export sectors and reinforced trade expectations, bolstering investor confidence. Additionally, the recovery in crude oil prices, driven by an improved demand outlook in energy markets, has further supported the export-linked Canadian economy.
