Canada: International trade surplus expands to C$2.09 billion in October versus C$2.00 billion expected
- Canada posted a stronger than expected trade surplus in October.
- USD/CAD largely ignored the data, though the loonie continues to perform well on Tuesday amid risk-on and higher oil prices.
Canada's merchandise trade surplus with the world widened to C$2.09 billion in October from C$1.42 billion in September, monthly data published by Statistics Canada revealed on Tuesday. This reading beat market expectations for a surplus of C$2.00 billion. Canadian exports in October rose to C$56.18B from C$52.8B in September, whilst imports rose to C$54.9B from C$51.39B.
Market Reaction
The loonie largely ignored the strong trade figures. USD/CAD has been under selling pressure on Tuesday as the loonie benefits from risk-on vibes and higher oil prices ahead of Wednesday's BoC rate decision and the release of November Ivey PMI data later in the session. The pair is now trading under 1.2600 and is already down over 1.0% on the week.
