The November Canadian Consumer price inflation report has just hit the screens. As mentioned earlier this morning, the markets were expecting this data to underscore and endorse the aggressive rate cut seen from the Bank of Canada last week. The monthly rate was expected to drop back to just 0.1%, from 0.4%, but the headline annualised rate was forecast to remain steady, at 2%. The average of all BOC matrix last month was around 2.43%. CPI did not rise at all last month and the annualised rate fell to 1.9%. Ahead of this the USD/CAD had reached a new 2024 high at 1.4297. It was trading around 1.4282 heading into this report. The reaction to it has seen the US dollar not rise. In fact it has just slipped a little. Perhaps this was all priced in at close to 1.43? We shall see as the dust settles. The USD/CAD is right now at 1.4278
