Canadian dollar rebounds from 22-year low on hopes of reprieve from US tariffs | Stock Market News

The Canadian dollar rebounded from its 22-year low against the US dollar on Monday on hopes of Canada achieving a reprieve from US tariffs.

The Canadian currency was trading 0.5% lower at 1.4590 to the US dollar, or 68.54 US cents, after earlier tumbling to its weakest level since April 2003 at 1.4793.

US President Donald Trump said that he had spoken with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and would do so again at 3 p.m. ET (2000 GMT).

However, Canada is not optimistic it can get the same kind of one-month reprieve from US tariffs that was granted to Mexico, the New York Times reported citing a senior Canadian government official.

Trump has paused new tariffs on Mexico for one month after Mexico agreed to reinforce its northern border with 10,000 National Guard members to stem the flow of illegal drugs.

On Saturday, the US imposed sweeping25% tariffs on goods fromCanada and Mexico, along with a 10% levy on China.

In retaliation, Trudeau said Canada would respond with 25% tariffs against $155 billion of US goods.

Last week, the Bank of Canada had warned that a tariff war could cause major economic damage as it cut its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 3%.
