Canadian Dollar Update As At January 3 (updated) ~ forex trading academy leeds
Of course the Canadian Dollar is feeling the effects of a failing economy based on someones dream about becoming a petrostate. One interesting thing about petrostates is that in most of them poverty abounds. Another interesting thing is that most petrostates are dictatorships. And Canada was headed that way until the recent election that saw the fanatics removed from power. Canada has a long way to go to recover from ten years of mismanagement, the current oil price has damaged all of Canada.
Here are some recent articles offering various opinions as to the future of the loonie:

What Is Happening With The Canadian Dollar?
Background.
The Canadian Dollar has had a nice bounce up in the past couple days and for sure people want that to continue.
Prices for food are skyrocketing and there is little relief in sight as most produce and vegetables are imported at this time of year.
The Loonie has been buoyed by a rise in the price of oil and a bit of weakness in the US Dollar.
Currency wars have been active quietly for many months. As China attempts to rescue its economy and increase production, there have been manipulations of the Yuan.
In addition many other countries are attempting to use interest rates as a tool to stimulate their economies.
Resources world wide are suffering from lack of deman as the worldwide economic slowdown persists.
Some interesting things have been developing in countries against which the Loonie trades, the next couple weeks will be interesting to determine the direction of the Loonie.
The Canadian Dollar is a component of the US Dollar Index, naturally the Loonie is reflected in that index and that index affects the value of the Loonie.
It looks like there is some divergence on these charts of the USDX and it appears to meet pretty stiff resistance to going much higher, which leads me to believe that the US Dollar is about to fall back which will improve the value of the loonie.
Because there are so many economies involved and because each can change their interest rates without warning, it is very difficult to manipulate the value of the Loonie with interest rates alone.
Three Charts to look at:
We have a weekly chart and a daily chart of the US Dollar index.
Both of these charts show some bearish divergence which is good news for the Loonie.
This next chart shows a pretty strong indication that the Loonie is about to rise
This is a Monthly Chart of the USDCAD currency pair and pretty [plain on there is the bearish pattern. What makes this pattern more valid than most is that it covers a period of many years, about 15 years.
Long term, the US Dollar will be falling against the Loonie and relief for Canadians.
In the short term, there will be some volatility and we may see the gains of this week wiped out within the next week.

A Disaster for Canadians
The victim of ten years of atrocious economic management and deliberate obfuscation by supposed economists and petrostate illusionists, Canada is now in a deep hole.
Buying power of the Canadian loonie has been decimated in recent months, jobs are few and far between, manufacturers are fleeing. The government is plagued by many consecutive years of deficits, all caused by a form of corporate welfare and a lack of vision. Canada has been bereft of sound economic planning for the past ten years even as the government was headed by a supposed economist. Ten years of deficits and smaller revenues on the horizon leave the new government few alternatives. Selling out resources to off shore corporations puts Canada at the mercy of foreign government policies. Multiple disadvantageous trade agreements will scar Canada for generations to come.
