USD/CAD

AI take

The Canadian dollar posted its strongest session in weeks after Alberta voters rejected a path toward a binding independence referendum, with an overwhelming remain majority. That political-risk overlay sits on top of September CPI that slightly undershot the Street on both headline and the Bank of Canada's preferred core gauges, and on a two-sided oil tape after crude firmed on Houthi and Hormuz headlines. Markets are looking more to the October 28 decision than an immediate move. Watch that Bank of Canada meeting, WTI after Hormuz headlines, and remaining data into both central-bank meetings.
