Canadian dollar to strengthen; analysts see 'systemic weakness' for USD through 2025
The Canadian dollar is expected to rise against its American counterpart through 2025, say analysts predicting investors will continue to shun the U.S. currency. ATB Capital Markets head of currencies Bill Kellett says the story remains one of U.S. dollar weakness, rather than loonie strength. He expects both currencies will underperform through the remainder of the year, with the American dollar falling harder than Canada's currency. 'USD weakness will likely outpace CAD weakness, setting up for a move lower in USD/CAD,' he wrote in a research report on Monday. 'We anticipate USD/CAD will drift moderately lower over the second half of 2025, edging down to the low 1.3000's.' U.S. President Donald Trump's chaotic trade agenda continues to stoke fears of rising inflation and softer growth among global investors. Uncertainty linked to Trump's unpredictable bursts of tariffs against major economies has raised questions about the stability of the U.S. dollar and its role as the global reserve currency. 'While dramatic capital rotation out of the U.S. is not a sustainable reality, the USD is showing signs of longer-term systemic weakness,' Kellett wrote. 'We expect the theme of USD weakness will continue through the balance of 2025, and this variable will be the main overarching factor impacting FX markets.' CIBC economists Avery Shenfeld and Katherine Judge agree. 'The Canadian dollar has remained on a strengthening trajectory recently, but that continues to be a reflection of the broad USD falling out of favour with investors, rather than a case of strong Canadian fundamentals,' they wrote in the bank's July foreign exchange report. 'Markets are pricing in a slightly more modest dose of easing from the Bank of Canada than we expect, and look to be too optimistic on Fed cuts,' they added. 'That leans towards pressure on the loonie in the near term, but progress on trade negotiations over the next few months could be an offset, leaving USDCAD relatively stable at 1.37 into the end of Q3.'

Liberty Defense's NextGen Security Takes Off at Palm Springs International Airport
Palm Springs International Airport Deploys Liberty's HEXWAVE to meet new TSA employee screening requirements and make air travel safer WILMINGTON, Mass., July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Liberty Defense Holdings Ltd. ("Liberty" or the "Company") (TSXV: SCAN, OTCQB: LDDFF, FRANKFURT: LD2A), a leading technology provider of AI-based next generation detection solutions for concealed weapons and threats, today announced the launch of its next-generation HEXWAVE system at the Palm Spring International Airport (PSP) to screen aviation workers for metallic and non-metallic threats. This technology satisfies a new TSA mandate on airport employee screening. PSP and Liberty Defense are raising the bar for aviation security as this new requirement comes closer to becoming mandatory for approximately 175 U.S. airports. The TSA mandate (TSA-NA-32-02), introduced in 2023 and set to be fully enforced by April 2026, requires U.S. airports to implement employee screening procedures capable of detecting explosive threats for employees accessing secure areas. PSP selected Liberty's HEXWAVE system in January 2025 as the airport continues to lead the industry in meeting this important federal security directive. HEXWAVE is deployed with the help of Veterans High Risk Security Solutions, a California Certified small business that is Veteran owned and operated. "Launching at Palm Springs International Airport is a significant milestone for Liberty as demand grows for proactive, AI-driven security screening solutions," said Bill Frain, CEO of Liberty Defense. "This partnership highlights the critical importance of advanced threat detection in today's evolving security landscape. By deploying HEXWAVE, PSP will more than satisfy the TSA's mandate and set a new standard for how airports protect employees with minimal disruption to operations and employees' work routines." HEXWAVE, made in the USA, uses proprietary AI and 3D-radar imaging to detect concealed metallic and non-metallic threats, including liquid, powder, and plastic explosives, 3D-printed "ghost guns," and other non-traditional weapons that conventional metal detectors often miss. The system delivers fast, contactless, high-throughput screening through a walkthrough portal – no stopping for individuals being screened -- minimizing disruption while maximizing security. To protect privacy, HEXWAVE does not save images and security personnel see only a generic silhouette with possible threat areas identified. "Airports are on the front lines of US national security and the safety of our people in a constantly evolving security environment where insider risks are among the most challenging threats," said Bryan Cunningham, President of Liberty Defense, global security expert, and former White House lawyer and CIA Officer. "With HEXWAVE, PSP adds a cutting-edge layer of protection to safeguard both employees and travelers. This isn't just about a mandate, it's about setting a new benchmark for employee and passenger security, employee convenience, and operational effectiveness. Whomever the bad actors and whatever the attack vectors, HEXWAVE, with our constantly updated AI analytics, is the last line of defense against today's threats and is 'future proofed' against current and emerging security risks of all kinds." For PSP, the decision to move early on the TSA requirements reflects the airport's broader commitment to innovation and safety. "Palm Springs Airport prides itself on being on the leading-edge for security and technology and is excited to be going live with HEXWAVE's advanced screening technology," said Harry Barrett, Executive Director at Palm Springs International Airport. "This partnership allows us to lead by example, both meeting the new TSA mandate and significantly enhancing the safety and security of our team and the traveling public." Liberty Defense continues to work with airports, stadiums, government facilities, religious, educational, and other public gathering spaces and critical infrastructure sites across North America and abroad to modernize screening processes and address rapidly evolving security threats.
