Key Issues for 2026

1.USMCA renegotiation risk - only G10 currency facing this
2.Lower potential growth
3.Carry headwinds from BoC deep cuts
4.Trade policy drag from sectoral tariffs
5.Narrower ranges as BoC/Fed near end of easing

Analysis Summary

Lower potential growth and carry headwinds to weigh on CAD. Trade policy remains a potentially-outsized drag given the punitive impact of sectoral tariffs that has not resolved and as the only currency in G10 facing USMCA renegotiation risk.
