Market Report

Should We Keep an Eye on the Canadian Dollar's Movements Ahead of the BOC Policy Rate Announcement?

06.09.2023

Today's Highlights
  1. Remarks by Bank of England Governor Bailey
  2. Canada: BOC Policy Rate and Statement Release

In yesterday’s U.S. currency trading, ahead of today’s Bank of Canada (BOC) policy rate announcement, the Canadian dollar strengthened alongside the U.S. dollar. With the Japanese yen being the second-weakest among Oceania currencies, the CAD/JPY pair rose from 107.449 to 108.537.It has rebounded to levels last seen two months ago. From a technical perspective, the CAD/JPY pair is in an uptrend, supported on the downside by the weekly 10-day moving average (10MA), and is moving higher toward last year’s high of 110.310. We will need to carefully assess whether the Canadian dollar will continue to strengthen against the yen.

Among European currencies, the pound also rose against the yen. However, despite reports released during today’s Asian trading session that Birmingham—the UK’s second-largest city—had effectively gone bankrupt, the GBP/JPY pair has managed to avoid a significant decline. Yesterday, the GBP/JPY pair rose by approximately 1.5 yen, from 184.070 to 185.775.The price moved from the daily 20-day moving average toward the +2σ level of the Bollinger Bands. With key officials set to speak during today’s U.S. trading session, traders should remain vigilant regarding the pound’s price movements.

Today’s schedule includes German manufacturing new orders at 3:00 p.m., the UK construction PMI at 5:30 p.m., Eurozone retail sales at 6:00 p.m., the U.S. MBA mortgage applications index at 8:00 p.m., Canada’s international merchandise trade and Q2 labor productivity at 9:30 p.m.,U.S. trade balance, at 10:15 p.m. remarks by Bank of England Governor Bailey, at 10:45 p.m. the U.S. PMI Purchasing Managers’ Index, at 11:00 p.m. the Bank of Canada’s policy rate announcement and statement, the U.S. ISM Non-Manufacturing Index, and at 3:00 a.m. the U.S. Beige Book.I would like to closely monitor the movement of the Canadian dollar ahead of the BOC policy rate announcement.
