With the Bank of Canada making this move, analysts and currency hedgers must now calculate the probabilities of further rate cuts by the Bank of Canada in 2024.
The path of cutting the policy rate is what will influence interest rates for the rest of the year. Any signal of further economic weakness and/or falling inflation could lead to lower interest rates across markets.
Farmers will find some relief on the cost of borrowing on variable loans with today's decision and potential future rate cuts in the cards.
The Bank of Canada moving on its rate before the Federal Reserve will create weakness in the Canadian Dollar versus the U.S. dollar, benefitting exporters.
