Investors Yank Cash from FXC as USD/CAD Drift Prompts Rethink on Loonie Exposure

Canadian Dollar ETF Faces Outflow Jolt as Investors Reassess Loonie Bets

The Invesco CurrencyShares Canadian Dollar Trust, ticker FXC, saw a sharp outflow of $3.56 million on February 25, 2026, as investors pulled capital from the Canada-focused currency vehicle. The redemption equals roughly 4.16% of the fund’s $85.6 million in assets under management, marking a notable shift in positioning toward the Canadian dollar.

The related asset, FX:USD-CAD, is currently trading at 1.36729, with the pair down about 2.01% over the past three months as the Canadian dollar has edged higher. Despite the medium-term move, the near-term tone remains cautious, with a 1-day technical signal flashing Hold, suggesting traders are hesitant to press fresh directional bets.

The sizeable withdrawal from FXC may reflect profit-taking after the recent softening in the U.S. dollar, or growing uncertainty over diverging rate paths between the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Canada. While the AUM impact is meaningful, the hold signal on USD/CAD hints that markets are still waiting for a clearer macro catalyst before committing to a stronger trend.
