Market Update: BoC Keeps its Overnight Rate Target Unchanged

BoC release

The bank of Canada has released its  overnight rate, keeping it at the same level with 1.25% As all economists had recently expected that rate to remain unchanged.

“Inflation in Canada is close to 2 percent as temporary factors that have been weighing on inflation have largely dissipated” (source: BoC release note).

The market has its own response to slipping of the Canadian dollar, as the decision was already priced in, so most of the traders started to open short positions.

UK Inflation

On the other hand, UK Inflation Drop Poses a Challenge For Bank of England. As CPI released with 2.5% despite its forecast with 2.7%
