EUR/CAD falls for three consecutive days: Strong German output still cannot offset oil prices supporting CAD
智通财经2026/10/07 09:17The euro has fallen against the Canadian dollar for the third consecutive trading day, hovering around 1.5920 during Wednesday’s European session. Despite Germany’s stronger-than-expected industrial performance, the euro remains under pressure, causing the EUR/CAD pair to continue its decline. Official data show that German industrial output surged by 2% month-on-month in September, far exceeding the market’s forecast of 0.5% and reversing August’s 1.2% decline. Year-on-year, industrial output rose by 2.3%, compared to a previous decrease of 1.6%. However, these strong economic figures were overshadowed by prevailing risk-averse sentiment, and the euro remained pressured. Escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East pushed Brent crude prices back above 100 dollars per barrel, sparking concerns over energy-driven inflation and a slowdown in eurozone economic growth. Rising oil prices provided solid support for the Canadian dollar, which is highly correlated with commodity prices, further weighing on the euro. As long as global energy supply risks continue to drive up oil prices, the strength of the Canadian dollar may continue to drag down the EUR/CAD exchange rate.

El Niño continues to intensify and may become a key driver for commodities in 2027
(1) El Niño continues to strengthen, with the latest August Oceanic Niño Index reaching 2.2°C, firmly placing it in the "very strong" category. (2) In comparison, during the 2015-2016 super El Niño event, this index was around 1.7°C in August and subsequently peaked at 2.6°C in December. (3) If this seasonal pattern persists, the coming months could point to an unusually strong or even potentially record-breaking El Niño. (4) The impact on commodities is already evident on both supply and demand sides. (5) Weather-related supply risks are supporting agricultural markets such as sugar, cocoa, and coffee, while the possibility of a milder winter in the Northern Hemisphere could suppress heating demand and dampen natural gas consumption. (6) The more persistent and stronger the current El Niño becomes, the greater the risk that weather will become a more significant driver of commodity prices by 2027.
