Medium-Term USD/CAD View:
Goldman remains comfortable with below-consensus estimates for Canada’s neutral rate.Long USD/CAD is a preferred medium-term strategy, reflecting potential headwinds from tariffs.Goldman Sachs sees potential for near-term CAD support if the BoC sounds hesitant about further cuts.
