The USD/CAD pair is showing a slight decline during the morning session on February 6, consolidating near the 1.3700 level and the local highs recorded on January 27. Investors are closing part of their short positions toward the end of the week, locking in profits after the moderate strengthening of the US dollar across most market segments, while awaiting the Canadian labour market report due at 15:30 (GMT+2), which could significantly adjust expectations for the future direction of monetary policy. According to current forecasts, employment growth may amount to only 7.0 thousand, below the 8.2 thousand recorded in December, while average hourly wages are likely to remain unchanged at 3.7% year-on-year, signalling persistent inflationary risks. The unemployment rate is expected to remain stable at around 6.8%. Later, at 17:00 (GMT+2), attention will shift to January data for the Ivey PMI, reflecting business activity in the national manufacturing sector. Adjusted for seasonal factors, the index may continue its sharp decline from 51.9 points to 49.7 points, putting additional pressure on the Canadian dollar.
