BoC's Poloz to talk down CAD?
FXStreet (London) - Having posted a morning high at 1.1073, USD/CAD has continued its range bound sentiment and is now flat on the day at 1.1056.
With the BoC Poloz’s speech scheduled for later this evening at 16:45 GMT, ahead of tomorrow’s FOMC rate decision, the pair looks light on momentum and for now content to range-trade. Tim Davis, VP of Global Strategy at TD Securities believes that Poloz’s speech on the role that currency plays in the economy and in the conduct of monetary policy will disappoint those who expect him to talk down CAD.
