Are markets too optimistic about a BoC rate hike? - CIBC
"The Canadian economy's been looking a bit brighter recently. But are markets too optimistic about a BoC rate hike?
Hiring has been strong, but somehow hours worked have actually declined. The trade balance looks healthy in nominal terms, but a glance at volumes paints a drearier picture. And, this week, manufacturing shipments showed a healthy increase, but the gains were by no means broad-based and could be set for a reversal. Early indications suggest that January wasn't a great month for transportation equipment shipments south of the border, and that's often a good predictor of trends in that important sector in Canada.
All told, it's unlikely that the BoC moves this year, and a reduction in pricing should see CAD weaken in the months ahead".
CIBC targets USD/CAD at 1.3400, 1.3600, 1.3900 by the end of Q1, Q2, and Q3 respectively.
