US Nonfarm Payrolls Data to Influence USD/CAD Price as Fed Interest Rate Expectations Revisions Continue
The USD/CAD price has been trading sideways around 1.3790 on Friday after a strong Thursday, as investors wait for the US Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) data for August to be released at 12:30 GMT.
This comes after Fed Governor Christopher Waller said recent data suggests some cool-off in inflationary pressures, leading to a downward revision in the Fed's interest rate expectations.
The FXS Fed Sentiment Index fell by 2.06 points to 125.38, indicating a modest pullback in perceived hawkishness relative to recent communications, but still remains above the neutral 100 mark.
