- US Dollar Edges Up Against The Loonie as Bond Yields Nudge Higher, Oil Prices Drop
The US dollar strengthened slightly against the Canadian dollar for the second straight day this week. The headline also notes bond yields nudging higher and oil prices dropping, but the article text is truncated and offers no further detail.
- Societe Generale Strategist Sees Wide USD / CAD Range as U . S . Growth Leads
Societe Generale Chief Currency Strategist Kit Juckes expects the U.S. dollar to trade between CA$1.20 and CA$1.45 per US$1 over the next decade, citing growth prospects and the gap between the two countries' two-year interest rates, per FXStreet. A move below CA$1.35 would depend on firmer Canadian economic data or a more favorable geopolitical backdrop. The IMF projects U.S. real GDP growth of 2.3% in both 2026 and 2027, versus 1.1% and 1.7% for Canada, narrowing the U.S. edge from 1.2 to 0.6 percentage points next year. Canada's Parliamentary Budget Office cut its forecasts to 0.9% for 2026 and 1.5% for 2027, blaming U.S. tariffs and Canadian countermeasures and expecting subdued growth through the first half of 2027. The Bank of Canada held its overnight rate at 2.25%, with its next decision due Oct. 28.
- US Dollar Weakens Against The Loonie as 10-Year Yields Edge Down
The US dollar fell against the Canadian dollar for a third straight session on Tuesday.
- Canadian dollar gains as dollar retreats, hot U.S. PPI clouds outlook
The Canadian dollar strengthened against the U.S. dollar on Thursday as the greenback retreated from an 18-month high, with USD/CAD down 0.29% to C$1.4197 around 8:24 a.m. ET. However, U.S. producer prices for final demand rose 1.3% in September from the prior month, well above the 0.6% expected, and climbed 6.3% year on year versus a 5.3% forecast. The data followed hotter-than-expected consumer inflation, raising concerns that persistent inflation could keep Federal Reserve policy restrictive for longer. The dollar index fell 0.2% to 102.03, while easing Treasury yields offered temporary support to the Canadian currency. Investors will now assess whether these readings strengthen expectations for another Fed rate hike.
- US Dollar Strengthens Against The Loonie as Higher CPI Sparks Rate Hike Expectation
- Canadian dollar holds near one-month high as rate outlook supports loonie
The Canadian dollar held near a one-month high against the U.S. dollar on Friday, extending a rally supported by rising oil prices and shifting interest rate expectations in Canada. The U.S. dollar traded around C$1.4000 in early trading, though the exact rate at 8:10 a.m. ET could not be independently verified. Oil supports the loonie because Canada is a major energy exporter. Investors are awaiting the Bank of Canada's next policy decision on October 28, and a more hawkish outlook relative to the U.S. Federal Reserve could further support the currency.

The meeting, attended by representatives of 21 member economies, reviewed five years of implementing the APEC 2040 Vision and prepared for the APEC 33 Leaders' Meeting in Shenzhen, China.

- After repeated margin-call sales, DIG chairman buys 5 million shares
DIC Corp Chairman Nguyễn Hùng Cường has completed the purchase of 5 million DIG shares between 12/10/2026 and 02/11/2026, raising his ownership from 3.41% to 4% of charter capital. The move follows a margin-call forced sale of more than 5.2 million DIG shares by Mr. Cường on 31/7/2026, and several family members also faced margin-call sales. Vũ Thị Thu Hương, wife of DIC Corp CEO Nguyễn Quang Tín, has also registered to buy 1 million more shares from 15/10/2026 to 13/11/2026. In business results, Q3/2026 revenue fell 43.2% to VND 761.36 billion and after-tax profit dropped 64.2% to VND 69.16 billion; nine-month pre-tax profit of VND 241.85 billion reached 40.3% of the full-year target.

- Midterm Election Impact: SPCX, ASTS, RKLB Stocks Sink As Musk’s Political Ties Put Tesla-SpaceX Merger Under Fresh Scrutiny
SPCX, ASTS and RKLB, along with several other space stocks, fell between 2% and 6% overnight as fears of political backlash against Elon Musk after Democratic midterm gains spread across the sector. Market observers said heightened scrutiny of government contracts and possible hearings could complicate a Tesla–SpaceX merger, though it would not automatically block the deal. Musk contributed $446 million during the 2026 midterm cycle, mostly to Republican-aligned groups. Investor George Noble urged adding to his bearish bets on SPCX and TSLA, while Morgan Stanley said SPCX trades cheaper than the S&P 500 for fiscal year 2028, at 17.6 times estimated earnings versus the index's 17.7 times.
- Vietnam's economy stays stable and positive amid an unpredictable global backdrop
Finance Minister Ngô Văn Tuấn told the regular Government meeting that Vietnam's macroeconomy remains stable and socio-economic conditions continued to improve in October, even as global conditions stay volatile, notably the Middle East conflict that pushed world oil prices up 3-4.2% in October from September. The IMF raised its 2026 growth forecast for Vietnam from 7.1% to 8.4%, and R&I included Vietnam in its investment-grade category for the first time. Industrial production rose 12.4% over 10 months, and exports reached US$499.24 billion (up 27.5%), with total trade over US$1,010 billion, passing US$1,000 billion for the first time. Registered FDI reached US$54.85 billion, up 74%. The report also flags difficulties, including no breakthrough in production and business activity, and pressure on financial, monetary and credit markets.
