The recent performance gap among G10 currencies has widened. The Canadian dollar appears somewhat lagging against major developed market currencies, mainly due to the escalating uncertainty in Venezuela. Geopolitical risks tend to boost risk aversion, and as a commodity currency, the Canadian dollar is more susceptible to pressure in such an environment. Investors are now more inclined to flow into traditional safe-haven assets like the Swiss franc and Japanese yen, reducing the relative attractiveness of the Canadian dollar.

The Canadian dollar is really suffering this time; risk aversion sentiment was immediately exploited.

Venezuela's troubles have once again hurt the Canadian dollar. When this risk aversion mood kicks in, commodity currencies are unaffected.

Risk aversion rises, and the CAD has to gather dust—this logic makes sense. Why is Venezuela causing trouble again? Truly a pit for commodity currencies. It's both francs and yen—are funds fleeing to traditional safe havens? Why is the CAD so weak? When risk sentiment reverses, can the CAD turn around? Seems like we have to wait a long time. The fate of commodity currencies—whenever a black swan appears, they are abandoned.

The Canadian dollar is disliked again, hilarious. As soon as risk aversion kicks in, commodity currencies get caught in the crossfire.

The Canadian dollar has really taken a hit this time. As soon as risk aversion kicks in, it gets sidelined. Venezuelan turmoil, while the Swiss franc and Japanese yen benefit from the situation. Commodity currencies are indeed on a continuous decline. By the way, is Canada just an innocent bystander? Feels a bit unfair.
