The Bank of Canada (BOC) has done as was entirely expected and left its current OCR (Official Cash Rate) on hold at 5%. That was pretty much baked into the cake and ahead of this outcome the USD/CAD had been falling back. However, that drop was not just about Canadian dollar strength, because the US dollar was losing ground across the board this afternoon. The USD/CAD had dropped to a session low at 1.3556. The news and commentary from the BOC stated it is still too early to consider cutting rates. This is a hawkish hold from the BOC today. Hence, the USD/CAD has now fallen below 1.3550 on this remarks. It is just now at 1.3540
