-- ING表示，加拿大央行周三维持利率不变，仍为2.25%，符合预期。 ING指出，周三加拿大央行宣布利率决议后，美元/加元汇率短暂走强，但市场定价并未发生显著变化。 市场仍预期加拿大央行将在10月份的会议上加息25个基点，比ING的基准预期更为鹰派。 周三加拿大央行相对鸽派的表态支持了ING对美元/加元第二季度末汇率1.37的预测。鉴于股市韧性以及油价长期处于高位，ING认为该预测存在一定的下行风险。 然而，目前ING预计，6月份美墨加协定（CUSMA）重新谈判将带来较高的不确定性，导致美元/加元汇率波动加剧。 ING预计，加元在2026年下半年表现将有所改善，届时新的美墨加协定有望最终达成，美联储也应考虑降息。 该银行预测，到年底美元兑加元汇率将达到 1.34，但存在下行风险。
