    Canada’s exports increased from $64.23 billion to $65.61 billion in November, showing a positive trend in international trade. This rise indicates a higher demand for Canadian products and favorable market conditions. The changing global economy could affect Canada’s economic outlook and trade balance as export numbers rise. This trend highlights the need to understand how trade impacts the country’s economy.

    Strength of Canadian Export Markets

    In November 2025, Canadian exports reached $65.61 billion, signaling strong foreign demand. This growth usually strengthens the Canadian dollar, as international buyers need to purchase our currency to buy our goods. This data paves the way for a hopeful end to the year for Canada’s economy. Recent reports back this up. Statistics Canada confirmed last week that the trade surplus widened again in December 2025 due to robust energy exports. The price of Western Canadian Select crude has remained steady above $70 per barrel as we start January 2026, providing ongoing support. This strong export performance indicates solid momentum in important sectors. With this in mind, we should prepare for a stronger Canadian dollar against the US dollar in the coming weeks. The Bank of Canada will likely keep interest rates steady at its next meeting, especially with December’s inflation still at 2.9%. Meanwhile, the US Federal Reserve is hinting at possible rate cuts. This difference in policy could lead to buying call options on the Canadian dollar or selling USD/CAD futures contracts.

    Investment Opportunities in a Growing Economy

    We should also consider derivatives on the S&P/TSX 60 index, as strong export revenues typically lead to higher earnings for major Canadian companies. Historically, similar periods of strong export growth, like the latter half of 2021, were often followed by gains in the materials and energy sectors of the TSX. Using bull call spreads on an index-tracking ETF could be a smart way to take advantage of potential gains while managing risk. Create your live VT Markets account and start trading now.
