Contextual Note: Currency values and bond yields create opposing effects for Canadian exporters. A lower CAD improves price competitiveness in U.S. dollar markets. However, it increases import costs for foreign machinery and components. Benchmark bond yields determine corporate borrowing costs for manufacturers.
