Canadian CPI

Canada does not have inflationary problems at the moment and the CPI is expected to confirm this as economists expect a 0.8% increase for the months of October, down from the previous 1.1%. Traders may not react to this report unless there is going to be a major surprise.

Canada seems to be chugging along with the rest in the global economy, but overall they should outperform during a slower growth environment and the Canadian Dollar should reflect that. While Canada is facing its own struggles they fare much better than their southern neighbor.

Well said! Relatively speaking, the Canadian economy isn’t doing so bad. I might watch out for the retail sales or Poloz’s speech when trading CAD though.

Yes, retail sales and Poloz are likely to move the Canadian Dollar. Either way it will create nice trading opportunities and I am looking forward the release of retail sales as well as as to his speech.
