A potential decline in the Bank of Canada's asset purchases and the strong growth in Canada's domestic economy is expected to help the loonie continue to gather strength. The findings of the poll also showed that USD/CAD is expected to extend its slide to 1.2300 in one year, compared to 1.2500 in the previous poll.
