September 14th - The AI field has experienced explosive growth over the past year, a pace that seems to have overwhelmed leading AI developers in the short term. Now, these companies are calling for a slowdown in research and increased regulation and oversight. However, the AI security crises that have recently surfaced are unlikely to impact the clients of AI giants like Anthropic and OpenAI in the same way. Enterprises typically deploy commercially available models whose capabilities are well-understood by the market. These models may not be at the absolute cutting edge of AI, but their capabilities are powerful enough to handle the various tasks assigned to them by enterprises. Stephen Messer, co-founder of Collective, stated that most enterprises are not using the most advanced models. They may even be using versions from two years ago, which are perfectly adequate for their current work. Some users dont even know how to effectively provide prompts to their models. Therefore, a slowdown in AI development will not have a significant impact on them.September 14th - According to AXIOS, multiple sources revealed that Anthropic may still go public in 2026 despite growing concerns about AI safety. Previously, there was speculation on social media that Anthropic might want to postpone its IPO due to liability and regulatory issues surrounding new products. However, the maker of Claude may believe that the events of the past 48 hours have actually enhanced, rather than diminished, its IPO appeal—they believe that the transparency of being a publicly traded company will improve safety. According to Business Insider, Anthropic has already decided to list on Nasdaq.Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk: Today I convened a meeting with ministers, as well as heads of the Polish Armed Forces and various departments, to discuss the next steps for strengthening border security.The market has now fully priced in four 25-basis-point rate hikes by the European Central Bank by the end of 2027.According to Axios, multiple sources have revealed that even though artificial intelligence security issues have become a hot topic, Anthropic may still go public in 2026, and the IPO schedule has not changed.

USD/CAD declines to 1.3500 on firmer Oil prices, BoC concerns over US inflation, and Fed Minutes

The USD/CAD maintains losses close to 1.3500, shattering a four-day winning trend, as traders brace for key Easter Monday data/events on major bourses. However, the recent decline in the Loonie-U.S. dollar exchange rate may be due to the increase in the price of WTI petroleum oil, Canada's primary export. In contrast to the recent increase in ardent Fed forecasts, the Bank of Canada's (BoC) dovish bias poses a challenge to pair sellers.

 

After increasing for three consecutive weeks, WTI crude oil prices gain 0.61 percent intraday near $80.00. Recent increases in the price of black gold may be due to geopolitical concerns surrounding China and Taiwan. In addition to the supply cut by OPEC+ and the faltering US dollar, the energy benchmark is sustained by the supply cut by OPEC+ and the weakening US dollar.

 

However, the US Dollar Index (DXY) has fallen for three consecutive weeks and is under pressure near 102,000.

 

Fears of higher Fed rates versus inaction from the Bank of Canada (BoC) grew after the upbeat US Jobs report versus the lack of significant positives in the March Canadian jobs report.

 

As a result, the CME's FedWatch Tool indicates a 69% chance of a 0.25 basis point rate hike in May, up from 55% prior to the US employment report.

 

Canada's headline Net Change in Employment increased to 34.7K in March from 21.8K in February, compared to the market consensus of 12K, while the Unemployment Rate came in at 5% versus the analysts' estimate of 5.0%. During the specified month, the Participation Rate decreased to 65.6% from the expected and previous rate of 65.7%. In addition, the average hourly wage fell 5.2% year-over-year in March, down from 5.5% in February.

 

In contrast, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that Nonfarm Payrolls (NFP) increased by 236K in March, the lowest increase since January 2021 (considering revisions), compared to the expected 240K and the previous 330,000. Additionally, the unemployment rate fell from 3.6% to 3.5%, while the labor force participation rate rose from 62.6% to 62.6%. The annual wage inflation rate decreased from 4.6% to 4.2%, below market expectations of 4.3%.

 

Futures on US equities ended higher, but yields remain under pressure ahead of the crucial BoC monetary policy meeting, US inflation, and Fed Minutes. Given the dovish concerns from the Bank of Canada (BoC) and the likely hawkish comments in the FOMC Minutes, the USD/CAD may see additional gains, barring any unexpected developments.
