The Canadian dollar strengthened against the US dollar after the Bank of Canada raised its benchmark rate 25 basis points to 2.50%, its first increase since July 2023. The Federal Reserve held its rate at 3.75%-4.00%, and the loonie traded near C$1.399 per US dollar while investors awaited US GDP and inflation data.
Currency moves like this alter the cost of Canadian-denominated exports and feed-ingredient purchases; a firmer loonie modestly eases import costs for Canadian buyers of US feed, while Canadian canola exports become slightly less competitive.
