The loonie hit a 20\u002Dmonth low, one day after the Bank of Canada announced its largest interest rate hike since 1998.
The Canadian dollar dropped to a low of 75.62 cents US in early trading, its lowest level since Nov. 4, 2020 and nearly one-a-half-cent drop from 77.07 cents US on Wednesday.
Bregar said the loonie is at a “critical juncture” — it can rally from the lows or fall even further because there’s not a lot technically to stop a bigger decline. He said he’s waiting for U.S. housing and retail sales data before deciding whether to support an increase above the expected three-quarters of a percentage point.
Scotiabank chief currency strategist Shaun Osborne said “risk aversion” was dragging the Canadian dollar lower after the Bank of Canada’s bold move.
