The Canadian dollar just hit a five-month peak—which is interesting considering the factory sales numbers came in pretty weak. You've got this tension in the market where the currency is strengthening despite disappointing industrial activity, and that's worth paying attention to if you're tracking commodity markets or thinking about broader economic cycles. The disconnect between currency strength and manufacturing weakness could signal market expectations about interest rates or capital flows shifting. Either way, it's a good reminder that markets don't always move in lockstep—sometimes you see currencies run while other economic signals are struggling.
