Here's how the anticipated Australian economic data releases may affect the AUD/CAD trade directional bias today by 4;30am
Key Data Releases and Potential Impacts:
(1)Cash Rate (Forecast 4.10%, Previous 4.35%):
Lower than Forecast (AUD Negative): If the actual cash rate is lower than the forecast of 4.10%, it would indicate a more dovish stance by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), suggesting concerns about economic growth. This would likely weaken the AUD, leading to a potential decline in the AUD/CAD.
As Expected (Neutral to Slightly AUD Negative): If the cash rate matches the forecast of 4.10%, the impact might be neutral, but the AUD could still face some downward pressure because it confirms the RBA is easing monetary policy.
Higher than Forecast (AUD Positive): An unexpected hold or increase in the cash rate would signal a hawkish RBA, strengthening the AUD and potentially leading to an increase in the AUD/CAD
(2)RBA Monetary Policy Statement & RBA Rate Statement:
These statements provide context and reasoning behind the RBA's interest rate decisions and offer insights into the central bank's economic outlook and future policy intentions.
Dovish Statements (AUD Negative): If the statements express concerns about economic growth, highlight downside risks, or signal further rate cuts, the AUD would likely weaken, pushing the AUD/CAD lower.
Hawkish Statements (AUD Positive): If the statements convey confidence in the economy, emphasize inflation control, or suggest a willingness to raise rates if needed, the AUD would likely strengthen, potentially leading to an increase in the AUD/CAD.
Upcoming Canadian CPI Data (2:30 PM) AND HOW IT WILL AFFECT TRADE DIRECTIONAL BIAS.
CPI m/m (Forecast 0.1%, Previous -0.4%):
Higher than Forecast (CAD Positive): If the actual CPI m/m is higher than the forecast of 0.1%, it would indicate rising inflation in Canada. This could lead the Bank of Canada (BoC) to maintain a hawkish stance or potentially consider future rate hikes, which would likely strengthen the CAD.
Lower than Forecast (CAD Negative): If the actual CPI m/m is lower than the forecast, it would suggest easing inflationary pressures. This could prompt the BoC to consider a more dovish approach, potentially weakening the CAD.
Median CPI y/y (Forecast 2.5%, Previous 2.4%):
Higher than Forecast (CAD Positive): A higher-than-expected median CPI y/y would signal that underlying inflation is increasing, reinforcing the potential for a hawkish BoC stance.
Lower than Forecast (CAD Negative): A lower reading would suggest that underlying inflation is easing, potentially leading to a more dovish BoC.
Trimmed CPI y/y (Forecast 2.6%, Previous 2.5%):
Higher than Forecast (CAD Positive): Similar to the median CPI, a higher-than-expected trimmed CPI y/y would strengthen the case for a hawkish BoC.
Lower than Forecast (CAD Negative): A lower reading would support a more dovish BoC.
Common CPI y/y (Forecast 2.1%, Previous 2.0%):
Higher than Forecast (CAD Positive): An increase in the common CPI y/y would generally be seen as positive for the CAD.
Lower than Forecast (CAD Negative): A decrease could weigh on the CAD.
Core CPI m/m (Previous -0.3%): Higher than Previous (CAD Positive): If the actual core CPI m/m increases from the previous -0.3%, it would generally be seen as positive for the CAD.
Lower than Previous (CAD Negative): A further decrease could weigh on the CAD.
Impact on AUD/CAD:
CAD Strengthening: If the CPI data is generally higher than expected, the CAD is likely to strengthen, potentially leading to a decrease in the AUD/CAD.
CAD Weakening: If the CPI data is generally lower than expected, the CAD is likely to weaken, potentially leading to an increase in the AUD/CAD.
Current Head of the Bank of Canada:
The current Governor of the Bank of Canada is Tiff Macklem. He was appointed to the position effective June 3, 2020, for a seven-year term.
RBA Policies: The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) monetary policies will also influence the AUD/CAD.
Trump's Tariff Threat: Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem has stated that President Donald Trump's tariff threats are already having an impact.
Economic growth forecasts: The Bank has adjusted its economic growth forecast down to 1.8 percent for 2025.
