Canadian Dollar retreats from one-month high as June inflation eases to 2.8%.
The Canadian Dollar (CAD) weakened against the U.S. Dollar (USD) on July 20, 2026, following the release of domestic inflation data. Canada's annual inflation rate cooled to 2.8% in June from a 29-month high of 3.2% in May, as gasoline costs fell sharply. This easing inflation reduced expectations for Bank of Canada interest rate hikes this year, leading to a pullback in the CAD.
Key points
- Canada's annual inflation rate decreased to 2.8% in June from 3.2% in May.
- The CAD weakened against the USD, trading 0.3% lower at 1.4060 per USD.
- The pullback from the CAD's one-month high at 1.4001 was attributed to the cooling inflation data.
