• USD/CAD softens to around 1.4025 in Thursday’s early Asian session. 
• US core PCE inflation climbed to 2.8% YoY in October, as expected. 
• Trump’s tariff plans on Canadian imports could weigh on the Canadian Dollar. 

The USD/CAD pair edges lower to near 1.4025 during the early Asian session on Thursday. The US Dollar Index (DXY) weakens to a multi-day low due to monthly flows and the Thanksgiving Day holiday. 

The US Dollar (USD) declines further as traders prefer not to hold positions before a long Thanksgiving weekend. However, the downside for the Greenback might be limited as the US Federal Reserve (Fed) may be cautious about interest rate cuts after stubbornly strong US inflation data.

Data released by the US Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) on Wednesday showed that the US Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index rose 2.3% on a yearly basis in October, compared to a 2.1% increase in September. 

Meanwhile, the core PCE Price Index, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, climbed 2.8% in the same period, up from 2.7% in September. Both figures came in line with the market consensus. On a monthly basis, the core PCE Price Index increased 0.3% in October, as expected. This report indicated that consumer spending increased solidly in October, but progress on lowering inflation appeared to have stalled.
