The Canadian Dollar is facing downward pressure following a shift in business sentiment as reported by RBC. While sentiment was positive through August 21, the subsequent collapse of trade negotiations between Canada and the U.S. has introduced significant economic uncertainty, negatively impacting the currency's outlook.
