Key Quotes
“The Bank of Canada may now be more cautious in its approach to monetary policy normalisation. We have tweaked our near term Canadian dollar forecasts to reflect ongoing headwinds brought by U.S. protectionism, but are keeping unchanged our longer term projections which show a strengthening loonie on the assumption of an eventual deal on trade. As such, our new target range for USDCAD for the next 12 months is 1.25-1.35.”
