Canadian dollar weakens but jobs data helps limit decline

The Canadian dollar edged lower against the U.S. dollar after jobs data showed both the U.S. and Canadian economies added more jobs than expected last month. The CAD’s decline was smaller than that of other G10 currencies, suggesting relatively resilient FX performance. The report is primarily macro and currency-focused, with limited immediate market impact beyond the FX move.
