The Canadian Dollar was the third best performing currency in G10 in January. Economists at ING expect the USD/CAD pair to dip below 1.30 in the second quarter.
“The BoC most likely hit the peak of its tightening cycle, as it brought rates to 4.5% and signalled more hikes are not on the cards for now. The dovish shift by the BoC was not a sudden move and had been largely priced in, which means that CAD can now potentially benefit from the fact that a lower peak rate means less economic impact and above all less pain for the troubled housing market.”
“CAD is not our favourite commodity currency for 2023 given a deteriorating domestic and US economic outlook, but can still count on respectable rate attractiveness and high-beta to risk sentiment.”
“A move below 1.30 in USD/CAD looks likely by the second quarter.”
