Comment: The loonie gained some traction on the back of early rate hike expectations from the Bank of Canada (BOC) as per the Fidelity Investments portfolio Manager David Wolf. The supply constraints and higher-than-normal inflation could push the central bank to take a step forward. Additionally, higher crude oil prices also lifted the sentiment around the Canadian dollar. As for now, traders are waiting for the US Personal Spending and Income data, PCE Price Index, ISM Manufacturing PMI, Canadian Gross Domestic Data (GDP) to take fresh trading impetus.
