CIBC targets USD/CAD at 1.36 by the end of Q2, 1.39 by the end of Q3

The Canadian dollar reversed its course following the Fed's interest rate decision, seeing its greatest daily appreciation in a year but such gains are likely to fade in the near-term, says CIBC World Markets Research.

"Look for Governor Poloz to retain a dovish tilt in April, especially given that Trump-related risks have yet to be resolved," CIBC argues.

As such, CIBC argues that a few months the stronger post-Fed loonie will likely look like just a 'flash in the pan' on the way to an even weaker exchange rate.

CIBC targets USD/CAD at 1.36 by the end of Q2, and at 1.39 by the end of Q3.
