Thoughts on AI impact on $EURCAD into year-end

Been looking at how the increasing talk around AI productivity gains could start to bake into broader macro forecasts, specifically with currencies. I'm wondering if we see $EURCAD test towards the 1.62 handle by year-end, driven by a perception of EU's manufacturing base benefiting from AI integration faster than Canada's resource-heavy economy, potentially strengthening the Euro relative to the Loonie. I'd put the odds of hitting 1.62 at around 40%, mainly because while the narrative is strong, actual implementation and significant economic data shifts usually lag, and we're currently hovering around 1.60831. It feels like a plausible scenario, but not a slam dunk, given other global factors could easily overshadow it.

While AI will undoubtedly impact productivity, tying a specific EURCAD move to AI integration speed in manufacturing vs. a resource-heavy economy by year-end seems like a stretch. Macro forecasts are already complex; adding speculative AI impact at that resolution might be overthinking it.

That's an interesting angle to consider for currency movements. I hadn't thought about AI's regional impact on manufacturing versus resource economies as a direct currency driver yet. What kind of data or indicators would you look at to track that potential divergence?

That's an interesting angle, particularly considering the differing economic structures. I'd be curious to see how quickly those productivity gains could realistically translate into currency movements within such a short timeframe, given that macro forecasts often lag. Perhaps more of a 2025 story?
