CAD CPI In Focus
Today’s Canadian CPI print will be the key data focus for the US session. CAD has been one of the strongest performers of 2022 in light of the uptick in oil prices and hawkish BOC expectations. With that in mind, today’s data has the potential to further accelerate the rally, or hit the brakes. The headline monthly CPI reading is forecast to have fallen back a little last month to -0.1%, from the prior month’s 0.2% reading. Given this low estimate, any upside on this projection will give a firm boost for CAD, keeping the focus on BOC tightening. Additionally, given the strength in oil prices, any downside might struggle to stop CAD in its tracks.
