加拿大央行3月利率決議



摘要:3月4日23:00(GMT+8)加拿大央行公布利率決議,直接降息50基點至1.25%,並表明已準備好進一步調整貨幣政策。決議公布後,美元/加元創時段內高點1.3417,現在1.34關口附近,有望繼續走高。
加拿大央行3月利率決議按圖放大加拿大央行今天決定調降隔夜利率50基點至1.25%,相應地,銀行利率在1.25%,存款利率在1%

儘管加拿大經濟一直接近產能飽和狀態並且通脹一直在目標水平,COVID-19疫情對加拿大和全球經濟前景構成重大負面衝擊,貨幣和財政機構正積極響應。

疫情爆發前,加拿大央行在1月貨幣政策報告中預測全球經濟正出現穩定化跡象。COVID-19在越來越多國家構成顯著醫療威脅。因此,某些地區商業活動顯著下滑,供應鏈遭到破壞。這拉低了大宗商品價格和加元。全球市場正對疫情擴散做出反應,包括重新計價一系列廣泛的資產,令融資條件更不寬鬆。隨着疫情擴散,可能出現的情況是,商業和消費者信心惡化,從而進一步抑制經濟活動。

加拿大2019年第四季度GDP已放緩至0.3%,與加央行預測一致,儘管其原因不同。消費受健壯的勞動收入增速的支持表現強於預期。居民投資繼續增長,但增速較今年早些時候更加溫和。同時,商業投資和出口均下滑。

越來越明顯的是2020年第一季度增長將弱於央行之前預期。若加拿大貿易狀況繼續下滑,將令收入增長承壓。同時,商業投資在取得積極貿易政策進展後似乎並未如期開始復甦。此外,鐵路封鎖、安大略省教師罷工、某些地區出現的冬季風暴正抑制2020年第一季度的經濟活動。

由於暫時性因素,1月CPI數據強於預期。通脹指標仍在2%附近,與經濟一直接近產能飽和狀態一致。

鑑於上述所有事態發展,現在前景明顯弱於1月。隨着事態進展,若管委會不得不需要支持經濟增長並令通脹保持在目標水平,已準備好進一步調整貨幣政策。在市場繼續良好運轉的同時,央行將繼續確保加拿大系統具有充足流動性。

加拿大央行將繼續與其他G7央行和財政機構密切合作,密切監測經濟和金融狀況。

BOC Decision: Canadian Dollar Crumbles as Poloz Capitulates & Cuts

BANK OF CANADA RATE DECISION & CAD PRICE OUTLOOK:

  • The Bank of Canada (BOC) has finally capitulated to dovish market expectations and cut its policy interest rate target by 50-bps to 1.25%
  • USD/CAD price action ripped higher while spot CAD/JPY took a plunge in response to the latest BOC monetary policy update
  • The Bank of Canada has not cut its benchmark interest rate since July 2015
The Canadian Dollar is cratering after the latest BOC decision. The Bank of Canada, championed by Governor Poloz, announced that the central bank just cut its benchmark interest rate by 0.5% from the previous 1.75% level.
The move comes as little surprise to traders, however, considering that overnight swaps were pricing in 43-bps of easing headed into the BOC interest rate decision.

The Canadian Dollar Currency Index (CXY) took a sharp drop immediately after the Bank of Canada announced that it cut rates by 50-bps, which completely erased gains from earlier in today’s trading session.
CAD price action has potential to keep coming under pressure now that the BOC Governing Council has capitulated to join other dovish central banks providing monetary stimulus.
