Zelensky Proposes Extending Ceasefire to 30 Days
On the 19th local time, Ukrainian President Zelensky posted on social media stating that Russia has not responded for 39 days to a proposal for a comprehensive and unconditional 30-day ceasefire. If Russia suddenly expresses willingness to join the comprehensive and unconditional ceasefire framework at this moment, Ukraine will respond reciprocally—however Russia acts, Ukraine will respond in kind. If a full ceasefire is truly achieved, Ukraine proposes extending the ceasefire period until after Easter on April 20th. This will test Russia's true intentions because 30 hours is not enough to establish genuine trust measures, whereas 30 days might create an opportunity for peace.

EUR/CAD falls for three consecutive days: Strong German output still cannot offset oil prices supporting CAD
The euro has fallen against the Canadian dollar for the third consecutive trading day, hovering around 1.5920 during Wednesday’s European session. Despite Germany’s stronger-than-expected industrial performance, the euro remains under pressure, causing the EUR/CAD pair to continue its decline. Official data show that German industrial output surged by 2% month-on-month in September, far exceeding the market’s forecast of 0.5% and reversing August’s 1.2% decline. Year-on-year, industrial output rose by 2.3%, compared to a previous decrease of 1.6%. However, these strong economic figures were overshadowed by prevailing risk-averse sentiment, and the euro remained pressured. Escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East pushed Brent crude prices back above 100 dollars per barrel, sparking concerns over energy-driven inflation and a slowdown in eurozone economic growth. Rising oil prices provided solid support for the Canadian dollar, which is highly correlated with commodity prices, further weighing on the euro. As long as global energy supply risks continue to drive up oil prices, the strength of the Canadian dollar may continue to drag down the EUR/CAD exchange rate.
