CAD is pressured by the perceived risk of a US-Canada trade war – ING

Tew Canadian prime minister can have an impact on CAD
“The impact on CAD would likely be short-lived as the currency is almost entirely trading on the back of the perceived risk of a US-Canada trade war, and how that can be impacted by the new prime minister.”
“At this stage, consensus seems to be building around two candidates: former Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland and former Bank of Canada/Bank of England Governor Mark Carney.”
