Bank of Canada Interest Rate Decision
BoC has scheduled to release Official Cash Rate decision at 1400 GMT/1930 IST followed by Press Conference at 1500 GMT/2030 IST. Short term interest rates are the paramount factor in currency valuation – traders look at most other indicators merely to predict how rates will change in the future.

It contains the outcome of their decision on interest rates and commentary about the economic conditions that influenced their decision. Most importantly, it discusses the economic outlook and offers clues on the outcome of future decisions.
