Don’t miss this month’s edition of the George Davis Report, where George discusses an inflection point at the June Bank of Canada meeting.

What you need to know:

1

The Bank of Canada became the first of the G7 central banks to cut interest rates at their June meeting.

2

The decision to cut rates was taken amidst increased confidence that monetary policy settings were restrictive enough to bring inflation back to their 2% target.

3

While data dependency will remain key going forward, we believe that conditions will remain favorable for additional rate cuts.

4

The potential for policy divergence with the Fed will leave CAD vulnerable to depreciation in the second half of this year.

5

The 1.4000 level has some historical significance which should be taken into consideration.
