Bank of Canada cuts rates for the first time since 2020. How deep will the BoC rate cuts be in 2024?
The BoC has left its policy statement almost unchanged compared to January, defying some expectations that easing references would have been introduced today. This suggests a fairly low chance of a rate cut in April, even though June remains on the table, in our view.
Driven by increased bets of interest rate cuts and a rising trend towards de-dollarization, the greenback is gradually losing its global dominance.

Is the Bank of Canada done with rate hikes and when can we see potential cuts. How are money markets pricing in BoC rate policy in 2024.
Bank of Canada kept rates unchanged as expected, but had to recognize that rates are “clearly restraining spending” and that disinflation is happening at a faster pace. However, that was not enough to drop the threat of another hike if necessary.
Slower-than-expected inflation, a clouded growth outlook and higher bond yields mean the BoC is likely to overlook jobs tightness and keep rates on hold on 25 October. There is still all the interest in keeping a higher-for-longer narrative alive, but markets may start to shed some doubts on it.
Will the Bank of Canada hike rates this year? What's the likelihood the Bank of Canada will achieve a soft landing?
Canada's economy surprisingly contracted in the second quarter with consumer spending slowing sharply and residential investment collapsing. Together with a cooling labour market, this should ease the Bank of Canada's inflation fears and lead to a no-change decision on 6 Sep. Still, the USD/CAD rally appears overdone, and we expect a correction soon.

Is the Bank of Canada done rate hikes in 2023? What are the implications of Fed Chair Powell's comments on BoC rate policy?
The Bank of Canada kept rates unchanged at 4.5% today. While BoC acknowledged that the labour market “remains very tight”, it doesn't have the same fears as the Federal Reserve that this will keep inflation pressures elevated.
After 425bp of interest rate hikes, the Bank of Canada signalled it would pause to digest the impact. Since its January meeting, growth has disappointed and inflation has slowed more than expected, though job creation continues at pace.

The BoC is set to raise rates one last time on Wednesday with a 25bp hike, taking the overnight rate to 4.5%. Economic activity is slowing and inflation is coming down and what is likely to be characterised as a pause for assessment is set to mark the peak for rates.
