SpanishCanadian Dollar Hits Fresh 3 – week Low ahead of BoC’s Interest Rate Decision, 40+ PIP Volatility Expected; Oct 28, 2020
Bank of Canada’s Interest Rate Decision
BoC will publish interest rate decision along with the monetary policy report around 1400 GMT/1930 IST. It’s the primary tool the BOC uses to communicate with investors about monetary policy. 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. It is important to note here that since March 27, BoC has kept interest rate unchanged at 0.25 pct and now the movement of Canadian dollar totally depends on the tone of the BoC Governor as it will be hawkish or dovish?
