Canadian fuel prices experienced a sharp surge in late July, with national averages rising significantly due to high West Texas Intermediate crude prices and geopolitical tensions involving Ukraine, the U.S., Iran, and the Red Sea. By mid-August, the Canadian Dollar reached a 2.5-month high against the U.S. Dollar. This strengthening was attributed to a combination of rising crude oil prices driven by tensions in the Strait of Hormuz and a temporary three-day pause on 50% U.S. tariffs following negotiations between U.S. President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. This reprieve has eased immediate trade tensions while rising oil prices provided additional support to the Canadian currency.
