In the current global economic environment, both fiscal and monetary policies are facing structural constraints and shocks from uncertainty. Taking Canada as an example, its defense spending has reached the NATO target of 2% of GDP. The Canadian government is continuously increasing its defense investment. Prime Minister Mark Carney has pledged to invest approximately C$82 billion over the next five years and increase military personnel salaries (by 8% to 20%). The funds will mainly be used for personnel expansion, training systems, ammunition reserves, digital infrastructure, and equipment procurement. Structurally, the current defense budget allocates approximately 36% to personnel, 40% to operations and maintenance, 22.6% to equipment and R&D, with the remainder for infrastructure and pension expenditures. Overall, this policy is seen more as a response to changes in the national security environment rather than a stimulus aimed at boosting short-term economic growth. Even looking ahead, constrained by procurement cycles and maintenance costs, its sustained ability to boost GDP remains limited. 

Based on the 4H chart, the Bollinger Bands are opening upwards, moving averages are diverging higher, and the price is oscillating upwards between the Bollinger Upper Band and the EMA12. The short-term upward trend remains unchanged. The MACD and signal lines are about to form a death cross, and consecutive candlesticks have closed as doji patterns, indicating that an adjustment could occur at any time. Support is near the Bollinger Middle Band and round-number levels, at 1.385 and 1.38, respectively. The RSI value is 80, suggesting a bullish domination. Daily, the Bollinger Bands are opening upwards, moving averages are diverging higher, and the price has reached a previous high resistance level, confirming the selling pressure. The RSI value is 73, indicating the market has entered overbought territory with RSI highs showing divergence. Therefore, selling at highs is recommended.
