CIBC expects Canadian dollar to hit 1.39 by September vs USD

"As markets have started to price in more rate hikes by the Fed this year, spreads have moved further in favour of the US and seen the C$ weaken against the greenback,notes CIBC World Markets.

In this regards, CIBC argues that even though a Fed hike next week is now fully priced, there's still scope for US yields to move a little higher over the coming months.

Meanwhile, given the potential for Canadian growth to cool a little and with the BoC Governor unlikely to change his dovish tune for a while yet, yields should be more grounded in Canada. That would see the C$ weaken and USDCAD reach 1.39 by September," CIBC projects".
