The Bank of Canada data do not, by themselves, provide an explanation for the daily currency movement.
Bank of Canada Data as the Official Reference

The central bank notes that its exchange rates are indicative rather than transaction rates. Actual rates available to consumers and businesses can vary depending on the financial institution, transaction and other market conditions.
