July 15th - The market widely expects the Bank of Canada to keep its overnight interest rate unchanged at 2.25% when it announces its interest rate decision on Wednesday. This would be the sixth consecutive time the rate has remained unchanged, following a combined 50 basis point cut in September and October of last year. Royal Bank of Canada stated that the surge in oil prices over the past month has not yet shown clear signs of developing into a broader, sustained inflationary shock. The bank further noted that, at the same time, Canadian economic growth and labor market data have improved compared to previous periods. While first-quarter GDP growth unexpectedly fell short of expectations, second-quarter economic momentum strengthened, and the labor market showed further signs of stabilization in May and June. Consumer spending data remained resilient. The bank believes that overall, although the Canadian economy remains weak, per capita economic growth is expected to gradually improve. Against this backdrop, it believes the Bank of Canada is likely to maintain its interest rate unchanged throughout 2026.July 15th - According to State Grid Inner Mongolia East Electric Power, as of 24:00 on July 12th, Inner Mongolias annual ultra-high voltage power transmission reached 114.6 billion kilowatt-hours, exceeding the 100 billion mark.July 15th - According to Beijing Capital International Airport, since the start of the summer travel season, passenger throughput at the airport has increased by over 5% year-on-year, with international and regional passenger traffic maintaining a year-on-year growth rate of over 10%.

AUD/NZD strengthens above 1.0800 as focus shifts to RBA Lowe's speech and RBNZ policy

In the early Tokyo session, the AUD/NZD pair is displaying inventory accumulation between 1.0810 and 1.0830. Investors have shifted their focus to Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Governor Philip Lowe's speech, which has caused the asset to swing unpredictably. The primary impetus for the cross will be the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's (RBNZ) interest rate decision on Wednesday.

 

Investors await the RBA policymaker's speech in order to get an informed opinion. The speech will include interest rate suggestions to counteract the exceptional increase in inflationary pressures. Third-quarter inflation hit 7.3%, compelling the Australian central bank to lift its price growth projection to 8%. To preserve healthy economic prospects and achieve price stability, the RBA maintained its rate hike timetable at 25 basis points (bps).

 

On the kiwi front, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's (RBNZ) monetary policy statement will deepen policy divergence between the RBNZ and the RBA. Governor Adrian Orr of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) has already announced five consecutive rate hikes of 50 basis points (bps) to a current level of 3.5 percent and has no plans to pause rate hikes despite rising inflationary pressures.

 

The Official Cash Rate (OCR) will climb by 75 basis points (bps) this time, according to a Reuters survey of the RBNZ's rate hike estimates. A comparable scenario would cause the OCR to increase to 4.25 percent and depart significantly from the RBA's policy structure.

 

The decision may boost the New Zealand Dollar in the future, but reduces the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's room for future rate increases. In addition, additional economic dynamics requirements will be shifted into the future.
