Your daily horoscope: February 5

                   HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY Aquarius is one of the zodiac’s fixed signs, which means you don’t change your ways often. This year, however, you must learn to be more adaptable, especially where new technology and new techniques are concerned. Don’t get stuck in the past. ARIES (March 21 - April 20): You must resist going to extremes over the next 24 hours, because if you allow the overly assertive side of your nature to take over you will almost certainly provoke a backlash.

Canadian Dollar Hits Five-Year Low Amid Political Turmoil


The Canadian dollar, also known as the "loonie," has plunged to a nearly five-year low against the U.S. dollar, driven by escalating political instability. The currency dipped below 70 cents U.S. for the first time since early 2020, following the abrupt resignation of Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland.

Economists attribute the decline to a combination of factors, including the strength of the U.S. economy, the widening gap between Canadian and U.S. interest rates, and the political uncertainty in Canada. The loonie has fallen by 3.4% since the U.S. election on November 5 and is down 7.6% year-to-date.

The Bank of Canada has indicated that it may slow the pace of future interest rate cuts, which could provide some support to the loonie in the short term. However, analysts warn that the ongoing political turbulence and potential tariffs threatened by the incoming U.S. administration could further weigh on the currency.

As the Canadian government grapples with internal challenges, the loonie's future remains uncertain. Investors are closely watching the political developments and their potential impact on the economy and the currency.
