BoC: CAD impact may be positive but quite limited – Barclays

In today’s session, the highlight will be the latest policy decision from the Bank of Canada. The economists at Barclays Research expect CAD impact to be slightly positive.

CAD remains first and foremost a risk trade

“We expect some CAD upside on a 25 basis point hike from the Bank of Canada that is not fully priced in. However, CAD gains from undervalued BoC rallies in the past have been modest and short-livedand sustained gains depend on the background of risk.”

“Beyond the tactical considerations surrounding this week’s meeting, CAD remains first and foremost a risky trade. Consequently, sustained gains against the dollar, in particular, will likely require the S&P 500 index to catch up with equity markets abroad.”
