Debilidad del CAD por mantenimiento del BoC, atentos al petróleo

Traducido automáticamente del original · Leer el original (English)

Un poco sorprendente la decisión de mantener las tasas del Banco de Canadá ayer, ¿no? El mercado estaba prácticamente descontando una subida, y vimos al $USDCAD saltar a 1.4021. El comunicado no fue exactamente dovish, pero la falta de acción ciertamente envió una señal. Me pregunto cuánto de esta debilidad del CAD puede sostenerse si el petróleo empieza a subir. Hemos visto que esa correlación se ha debilitado un poco últimamente, pero sigue siendo un factor significativo para el Loonie. Atentos a los inventarios de crudo la próxima semana, podría ser un catalizador clave.

Yeah, I was also surprised by the BoC hold. It felt like everyone was expecting a hike. Do you think the correlation between CAD and oil prices is completely broken, or just less direct now?

Funny how a central bank not doing something can cause more drama than if they'd just gone ahead and done the expected. It's almost like they enjoy keeping us on our toes. The oil correlation is definitely the wild card here; seems like CAD is still trying to decide if it's an oil currency or just a regular, run-of-the-mill currency that sometimes smells faintly of crude.

I'm still trying to get my head around the BoC's decision too. It definitely felt like a missed opportunity to hike. Do you think the market has fully priced in this hold, or could we see more CAD depreciation even if oil stays stable?

Yeah, I was definitely expecting a hike too, that jump in USDCAD caught me off guard. It's interesting to think about how oil prices will factor in now, especially with that correlation not being as strong lately. Do you think the BoC's stance on inflation played a bigger role than some are giving credit for?

Yeah, I was definitely expecting a hike too, that 1.4021 move on USDCAD was pretty wild. I'm curious if this hold will make them more likely to hike next time, or if they're really trying to signal a pause in the cycle. What are your thoughts on oil's current resistance levels?
