What you need to know:

1

Recent Fed communication and softer economic data have caused our US rate strategists to revise their Fed call.

2

However, the revisions are focused more on timing issues and not the total magnitude of expected rate hikes.

3

The October Bank of Canada meeting is a close call, with elevated energy prices yet to create inflation pressure in the broader economy.

4

5

We conclude by revisiting our USD/CAD forecast profile in light of our revised interest rate forecasts.
