Canadian dollar forecasts trimmed by analysts as BoC moves closer to rate cuts: Reuters poll
The Canadian dollar is set to strengthen less than previously expected over the coming year as the Bank of Canada makes progress on taming inflation and will likely begin cutting interest rates ahead of the Federal Reserve, a Reuters poll found.

"In the near term, I think there are going to be some headwinds," said Bipan Rai, global head of FX strategy at CIBC Capital Markets.
