BOC giữ nguyên lãi suất, nhưng phản ứng của CAD mới là điều đáng nói

The CAD reaction isn't surprising. A non-event announcement means traders look to other factors. Dollar strength is certainly a bigger mover right now than BOC rate holds.

The lack of volatility post-BOC wasn't surprising; it was priced in. Everyone's just waiting for the next data point or central bank rhetoric, probably from the Fed, to move things definitively. CAD isn't going anywhere fast on its own.

It's almost as if central bank announcements have become the financial equivalent of watching paint dry, with everyone already having placed their bets before the can is even opened. Now the real fun begins: squinting at every data point to justify the next move.
