What’s priced in for the Bank of Canada ahead of today’s decision

Forex Short News

The Bank of Canada decision is at 9:45 am ET and the latest commentary from Governor Macklem is that they would be putting more emphasis on risk and trying to be forward looking.

How does the OIS market see it:

  • 92% chance of a cut today to 2.25%
  • 24% chance of a further cut in December
  • 53% chance of a cut in January
  • 72% chance of a cut in March

The curve flattens from there with the market seeing a terminal bottom at 2.25% or 2.00%. That would be the bottom end of neutral or just below. It would leave some dry powder if trade or economic outcomes disappoint.
