The exchange rate between the Canadian Dollar (CAD) and the Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) is currently influenced by a combination of factors including oil prices, trade relations, and broader economic conditions. Recent market activity has seen the CAD fluctuating closely with oil prices, as the Canadian economy significantly relies on energy exports. The CAD has been trading at 30-day lows near 3.0896, which is 0.8% below its 3-month average of 3.114. Analysts point to the highly volatile nature of oil prices, which are currently at 90-day lows near 61.29, representing a significant 13.2% drop from their 3-month average of 70.61. This decline in oil prices, encompassing a volatile trading range of 25.6%, could create downward pressure on the CAD.
