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.
