However, the Loonie managed to retain much of its quarterly gains. USDCAD was down 0.1% at 1.3530 on Monday, with the currency losing 0.3% for the month but posting a 1.1% gain for the third quarter.

The U.S. dollar strengthened against a basket of major currencies, while U.S. bond yields climbed as Powell emphasized that Fed policy was not on a predetermined path, noting that risks were “two-sided.” The Canadian dollar’s decline on Monday was more a reflection of U.S. dollar strength as investors reassessed the likelihood of a larger-than-expected rate cut by the year’s end.
In addition, the Bank of Canada has also been reducing borrowing costs. Canada’s GDP grew by 0.2% in July, but a preliminary estimate suggested that growth likely stagnated in August, fueling expectations for a larger rate cut this month. The BoC has already reduced rates three times since June in quarter-percentage-point increments but indicated it could shift to more significant cuts if economic conditions warrant.
