On August 11th, it was reported that since August, several small and medium-sized banks in Hubei, Guangdong, and other regions have successively raised deposit interest rates. Entering August, many city commercial banks, rural commercial banks, and village banks announced increases in their listed deposit rates or rates on special deposit products. Overall, the increases ranged from 10 to 33 basis points (BP). Against the backdrop of declining macro-market interest rates and the banking industrys continued efforts to reduce liability costs, the fact that most small and medium-sized banks have lowered deposit rates has drawn market attention. Industry insiders believe this move has a clear characteristic of attracting deposits in a short period, lacks universality, and is not directly related to the recent collective resumption of five-year large-denomination certificates of deposit by some large state-owned banks.On August 11th, it was reported that DeepSeek Harness has established an official WeChat account, "DeepSeek Harness Team," with the account registered under the name of Beijing DeepSeek Artificial Intelligence Basic Technology Research Co., Ltd.

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.
