Reason for the trading strategy
Yesterday, the Bank of Canada kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 0.5% while waiting for its reduction to 0.25%, which supported the Loonie. The regulator increased its estimate of Canada's GDP growth from 1.1% to 1.2% in 2015, the forecast for 2016 was reduced from 2.0% to 1.4%. The forecasts do not take into account the expected effect of fiscal measures that promise to significantly help the growth of the economy.
