U.S. employers added 165,000 jobs in October, well above expectations, while Canada lost 4,700 jobs for a third consecutive month. The contrasting data lifted USD/CAD about 0.78% to roughly 1.4120 and raised market expectations for a Federal Reserve rate hike.
Stronger U.S. employment and weaker Canadian employment widen the expected interest-rate gap, supporting the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar. A higher USD/CAD raises the local-currency cost of imported feed and agricultural inputs for Canadian buyers.
