About this episode
The episode discusses the recent decline of the U.S. dollar and its implications for Canadian investors.
After years of dominance, the U.S. dollar is showing signs of a long-term reversal. In this episode of Market Points, Shaun Osborne, Managing Director and Chief Currency Strategist, is joined by Eric Theoret, FX Strategist, to unpack what’s driving the recent weakness in the greenback. They explore structural and cyclical pressures including fiscal and trade policy uncertainty, and the growing chatter around de-dollarization. With implications for Canadian investors and the potential for a stronger loonie even in turbulent markets, the conversation offers essential context on where the dollar may be headed.
