Canadian CPI data expected to indicate decreasing inflationary pressures, paving the way for additional interest rate reductions

The Canadian Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for July is set to be released on Tuesday, with expectations suggesting a continuation of disinflationary trends in the headline CPI. However, the core CPI reading, which excludes volatile components like food and energy, may see another uptick, adding volatility to the release. The Bank of Canada (BoC) will also unveil its core CPI data, which could impact the Canadian Dollar and shape expectations for the central bank’s monetary policy, especially after the BoC cut its policy rate by an additional 25 basis points in July.

The Canadian Dollar has been firm against its US counterpart so far in August, gathering strong traction following year-to-date lows near 1.3950 against the Greenback. The downside in USD/CAD remains well guarded by the key 200-day SMA near 1.3600. Analysts anticipate that Canada’s inflation rate will maintain a downward bias in July, though still remaining above the central bank’s target. Lower-than-expected CPI data could fuel speculation about a possible interest rate cut by the Bank of Canada in September.

The BoC is expected to further ease its monetary policy with another quarter-point interest rate cut if the upcoming CPI data meets expectations. The central bank’s concerns about weaker consumer spending, excess supply in the economy, and sluggish growth compared to population growth could lead to additional rate cuts. BoC Governor Tiff Macklem emphasized the focus on boosting growth and job creation to achieve a sustainable return to the 2% inflation target.

Pablo Piovano, Senior Analyst at FXStreet, suggests that USD/CAD remains supported by the critical 200-day SMA at 1.3600. Any breach of this level could lead to further weakness in the pair, with key support levels at 1.3419 and 1.3358. On the upside, resistance levels are seen at 1.3946 and 1.4000. Significant increases in CAD volatility could depend on unexpected inflation data, with a lower CPI potentially leading to a rise in USD/CAD, and higher-than-expected inflation providing only modest support for the Canadian Dollar.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) data for July will be released on Tuesday at 12:30 GMT, with the Canadian Dollar’s response hinging on any shifts in expectations regarding the Bank of Canada’s monetary policy. Unless there are significant surprises in the data, the BoC is expected to maintain its current easing approach. The table below shows the percentage change of the Canadian Dollar against major currencies, with the CAD being the strongest against the US Dollar. Traders and investors will closely monitor the CPI data release for any potential impact on the currency markets.

In conclusion, the upcoming CPI data release for Canada in July is expected to reveal ongoing disinflationary trends in the headline CPI, while the core CPI reading could show some volatility. The Bank of Canada may consider further easing its monetary policy if inflation remains below expectations, potentially leading to another interest rate cut. Analysts will closely watch the data for any shifts in market expectations and their impact on the Canadian Dollar, as well as potential trading opportunities in the currency markets.
