The other stateside release hitting the wires just now was the latest Canadian CPI report and that has come in quite a bit lower than forecast. CPI fell by 0.4% last month, where the markets were expecting a 0.2% decline. The noted annualised rate has also come in below consensus, at 1.6%. The markets were forecasting that at 1.8%, down from the prior reading of 2%. The reaction in the USD/CAD has seen the US dollar rise immediately to fresh session and interim highs above 1.3835. The markets are now pricing in around an 80% chance of a 0.50% rate cut from the BOC next week following this data. The USD/CAD is currently trading at 1.3830
