Traders were bracing for U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods, including oil, which some expected might be exempted. The 10-year yield hit a seven-week low at 3.062%.

## Why it matters

A weaker loonie makes Canadian exports cheaper in dollar terms, and tariff fears raise the risk of a Canadian slowdown that could weigh on Canadian canola and oat export demand. Feed buyers should watch USD/CAD as a signal for Canadian grain and oilseed pricing.
