Today’s Economic Calendar – BOC Rate Decision

Today’s calendar features crucial US inflation data, Bank of Canada’s rate decision, and EIA inventory reports. Markets await OPEC’s monthly outlook while monitoring US mortgage trends and New Zealand retail figures. The dollar’s near-term direction hinges critically on Wednesday’s inflation report, with forecasters anticipating another month of sticky price pressures. The core consumer price index, excluding food and energy, is projected to maintain its 0.3% monthly pace, suggesting the Federal Reserve’s path to its 2% target remains challenging.
