Potential signal: — As I have stated previously, I’m perfectly comfortable buying this currency pair right here with a stop loss below.– I would use the 1.3840 level as a potential stop loss, and 1.42 as a potential target. The US dollar has risen again against the Canadian dollar during the trading session on Thursday, breaking above the crucial 1.39 level. Ultimately this is a market that I think continues to look toward the 1.40 level, possibly even higher than that. [geotargetedbrokercarousel] It’s worth noting that the US dollar rallied against almost everything during the trading session on Thursday, and…

Traders are closely watching Wednesday’s release of the Federal Reserve Meeting Minutes, the first under newly appointed Chairman Kevin Warsh, for crucial clues regarding the future path of US interest rates.The USD/CAD pair advances as the US Dollar (USD) receives support from safe-haven demand amid renewed geopolitical tensions. However, the upside of the Greenback could be restrained due to cooling rate-hike expectations, a shift triggered by last week’s weaker-than-expected Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data. According to LSEG data, market pricing for…

Central banks have spent years telling markets what might come next. Now, traders face the possibility that they say a lot less. From the Federal Reserve to the European Central Bank and the Bank of England, policymakers are pushing back against forward guidance, arguing that the current world demands more flexibility. For traders, this shift is important because less guidance means greater dependence on data and, very likely, more market volatility. For over two decades, global central banks have been using forward-looking guidance on the monetary policy outlook as a tool to support households and businesses in making decisions regarding spending…

But not every ETF will survive. ETF providers are businesses, and ETFs themselves are products. The goal of launching an ETF is ultimately to gather sufficient assets under management (AUM) so that the management fees generated by the fund exceed the costs of operating it.  Like any business, however, not every product launch succeeds. Sometimes investor demand fails to materialize. Sometimes competition proves too intense. And sometimes, an issuer simply decides that its resources are better allocated elsewhere. At that point, the sponsor may choose to close the fund. The desire to avoid ETF closures is one reason investors often…

Canada’s financial services sector continues to swim on the tide of technology. While banks have long embraced digital channels, 2026 marks a turning point where two technology-driven trends are moving from pilot projects and policy discussions into large-scale implementation: Artificial intelligence (AI) and consumer-driven banking, which is often referred to as open banking. For a few years, Canada lagged behind countries such as the U.K. and Australia in implementing open banking. That is now changing as the federal government’s consumer-driven banking framework rolls out during 2026, giving Canadians greater control over their financial data and allowing them to securely share…
