Invesco CurrencyShares Canadian Dollar Trust’s FXC saw outflows of $3.56 million on February 25, 2026, a sizable move equal to roughly 4.16% of its $85.6 million in assets under management. The sharp redemption suggests institutional investors are trimming exposure to the Canadian dollar amid shifting FX narratives and softer sentiment toward commodity-linked currencies.
The related asset, FX:USD-CAD, is currently trading at 1.36452, having slipped about 1.23% over the past three months as the loonie edged higher versus the greenback. However, the near-term tone looks more fragile, with a 1-day technical signal flashing Strong Sell, hinting that recent strength in the Canadian dollar may be vulnerable if risk appetite or oil prices falter.
FXC’s latest outflow underscores how quickly currency positioning can turn when traders reassess central bank paths and growth prospects in Canada relative to the U.S. If the Strong Sell signal on USD/CAD proves prescient, some of today’s sellers could find themselves chasing back into FXC should the loonie regain momentum in coming sessions.
