> USD/CAD fell toward 1.3990 in Asian trade on Tuesday as WTI crude recovered to about $95.80 a barrel after a nearly 7% drop in the previous session. Iran said indirect talks with the US, mediated by Qatar, were still underway without a major breakthrough.

## Why it matters

Canada is the largest crude exporter to the US, so the loonie tracks oil; a firmer crude price supports CAD and matters for energy-linked currency moves in agricultural import costs. Ongoing diplomacy keeps oil volatile, so the currency-oil link stays sensitive to headlines.
