Canadian Rates Are Headed To 2%, But CAD Has Hit Capitulation

The trade war complicates the Bank of Canada’s task to achieve stable inflation. But the bottom line is that rising uncertainty, which will dampen business sentiment, will cause the BoC to cut rates by at least what is priced in the CORRA curve, and likely to 2%. The CAD, which is very oversold, might not depreciate much. The big trade is a bet on a spread widening for Canadian provincial bonds.
