Speaking after the G20 finance ministers and central bank governors meeting, Ueda said the BOJ would, as always, have a thorough discussion on monetary policy at its next meeting. Ueda declined to comment on the markets strong expectations for a September rate hike. However, he stated that recent economic data was consistent with the BOJs previous outlook. This key statement suggests that the BOJ is proceeding with its planned further rate hike. The BOJ has previously indicated that future policy discussions will focus on the risks of rising prices. Uedas remarks come as US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant further called for appropriate policy action from the BOJ this week, further reinforcing market expectations of an imminent rate hike.

USD/CAD Bears In Control And Aiming At Support Zone Lows

The USD/CAD exchange rate is unchanged on the day after a succession of negative impulses drove the price into new territory to the downside and deeper into a support region as a result of the oil price rally. The USD/CAD exchange rate was 1.3431 at the time of writing.

 

Monday's 6.3% rise in West Texas Intermediate WTI crude oil to an intraday high of $81.51 strengthened the CAD. The oil price surged after the OPEC+ cartel surprised the market with a production cut of 1.1 million barrels per day to support prices, with the cartel announcing that it will reduce output prior to Monday's ministerial meeting.

 

Analysts at TD Securities observed that the Bank of Canada's Business/Consumer Surveys painted a more dovish picture ahead of the April BoC meeting, with a marked improvement in capacity pressures and consumer inflation expectations.

 

Analysts noted that firm-level inflation expectations continue to be elevated and that consumer growth and income expectations have also increased since the fourth quarter.

 

''The Bank of Canada should be pleased with these results, which indicate a decline in capacity pressures and a moderation in inflationary pressures. However, inflation expectations remain a formidable impediment to near-term relief. If growth does not decelerate substantially in the second quarter, it may be difficult for the Bank of Canada to keep rates at 4.50 percent. Analysts believe that the report is optimistic for CAD.
