币界网报道：Former U.S. President Donald Trump's tough trade rhetoric is rattling currency markets, with the Canadian dollar plunging 1.5% against the U.S. dollar following his comments about potentially imposing new tariffs on Canadian goods if re-elected. The loonie fell to 1.3650 per USD, its lowest level in three months, as traders priced in increased trade tensions between the two nations. Trump specifically criticized Canada's dairy tariffs and threatened to "tax every car that comes across the border" during a campaign rally in Michigan, a key auto manufacturing state. Analysts warn that renewed NAFTA uncertainties could push USD/CAD toward 1.40 if Trump's protectionist policies gain traction. The currency move comes amid broader market jitters about potential global trade wars, with Mexico's peso also weakening on similar concerns. Bank of Canada officials are monitoring the situation closely, though they maintain that Canada's strong economic fundamentals should support the currency long-term. Market participants are now reassessing their outlook for North American trade relations ahead of the U.S. presidential election.
