USD/CAD will decline to 1.30 in the next three months - CitiBank. Citibank analysts write that the recent fall of the Canadian dollar was caused by the news that the U.S. plans to introduce a 10% duty on imports of aluminum from Canada. At the same time, they add that growing tension between the U.S. and China, as well as news concerning the elections, will continue to put pressure on the USD and support the Loonie.
