Bank of Canada: Inflation is on track to return to 2% in 2017. USD/CAD down 100 pips so far
The Bank of Canada announced that it is maintaining its target for the overnight rate at +0.50%.The Bank Rate is correspondingly 3/4 per cent and the deposit rate is 1/4 percent.
Inflation in Canada is on track to return to 2 per cent in 2017 as the complex adjustment underway in Canada's economy proceeds. The fundamentals remain in place for a pickup in growth over the projection horizon, albeit in a climate of heightened uncertainty.
In this context, the forecast for the global economy has been marked down slightly from the Bank's April Monetary Policy Report (MPR). Global GDP growth is projected to be 2.9 per cent in 2016, 3.3 per cent in 2017, and 3.5 per cent in 2018. In particular, after a weak start to 2016 the US economy is showing signs of a rebound, with a healthy labour market and solid consumption growth. In the wake of Brexit, global markets have materially re-priced a number of asset classes. Financial conditions, already accommodative, have become even more so.
