The Canadian dollar gained about 0.5% against the US dollar on November 4, pushing USD/CAD to seven-week lows near 1.3933. The US dollar index fell toward 101.30 after Democrats swept the House and Senate, leaving Congress and the White House under opposing parties.
A weaker US dollar tends to support dollar-priced commodities and make US exports more competitive, while the loonie's move reflects currency flows rather than a change in Canadian crop or trade fundamentals.
After 1,637 past bearish macro events, US Dollar (Broad) moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (39% higher; middle half -0.6% to +0.3%), and -0.2% over 20.
