Canada's Jobs Report Next Week The Focus for Canadian Dollar, Says UBS

BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 10/03/25 07:50 AM EDT

07:50 AM EDT, 10/03/2025 (MT Newswires) -- USD/CAD has come off its 1.36 lows lately, noted UBS.

While much of the support was driven by the US dollar (USD), the Canadian dollar (CAD or loonie) also played a role, wrote the bank in a note to clients.

Signs of weakness are now clearly visible in the Canadian economy, said UBS. Growth has slowed, economic surprises have dropped into negative territory and payrolls growth has been significantly negative for the past two months.

As a consequence, the September Labour Force Survey (LFS) data due next week bear watching, stated the bank. Risks are skewed to the upside for the print, in the bank's view, which should limit scope for a rise in USD/CAD.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
