The USD/CAD pair could fluctuate heavily on Tuesday, where the Bank of Canada will announce its decision on interest rates, as the BOC is expected to leave rates unchanged at 1.00%, yet investors will be eyeing the accompanying statement for clues over the BOC’s monetary policy path.

Nonetheless, tensions remain elevated in financial markets, as investors are concerned that EU leaders will fail to reach an agreement again after suffering similar disappointments over the past few months.
The USD/CAD pair could still drop if the current wave of optimism continues to dominate markets, but we still expect volatility to continue to dominate trading, as uncertainty remains the dominant theme in markets, and that could also lead to high levels of fluctuations for the USD/CAD pair.
