Trade of the Week: Bank of Canada rate hike may boost Canadian dollar

The Canadian dollar, a.k.a the loonie, has been one of the best-performing G10 currencies so far in 2022. Notice how the CAD has a year-to-date climb versus most of its G10 peers, except for safe haven currencies such as the Japanese Yen and the Swiss Franc.

Market players will be served a cocktail of key economic reports from the UK and potentially more political drama at Westminster. On top of this, expectations continue to mount over the Bank of England raising interest rates in February to tackle rising inflationary pressures. The argument for higher interest rates may receive a boost if the pending labour market and CPI data meet or exceed expectations. Looking at the political front, Prime Minister Boris Johnson remains under pressure to resign over 'partygate' – a development that could weigh on sterling down the road.

📌📌The mood across European markets darkened on Tuesday as surging Covid-19 cases on the continent dented risk sentiment.

📌Austria reintroduced a national lockdown on Monday to curb new infections spreading across Europe. However, fears continue to mount over larger countries in Europe following Austria’s lead, with Germany at the top of the list.

📌Across the Atlantic, US futures are pointing to a negative open as investors evaluate Jay Powell’s nomination for a second term as Federal Reserve Chair. When considering how his renomination boosted rate hike expectations and propelled Treasury yields higher, US equity bulls could face some obstacles down the road.

📌📌Asian markets pushed higher on Tuesday, despite the lacklustre session on Wall Street overnight, as investors evaluated President Joe Biden and China’s Xi Jinping’s first virtual face-to-face summit. 

🌟Given the escalating tensions between the United States and China, this development was a breath of fresh air and raised hopes over relations improving between both sides. The sense of positivity from Asia could infect European shares this morning ahead of another busy day for financial markets.

📌📌The hot US CPI print is still reverberating around markets. US bond markets were closed yesterday for Veteran’s Day. That means there will be some focus on treasury markets on the last trading of the week. Weekly closes are always important, especially after such a major data shock.

📌The dollar has continued its ascent, rising to 16-month highs and is poised for its best week in almost five months. This has seen oil prices dip as it grapples with a stronger dollar. Other commodities like copper are also lower. A stronger dollar makes greenback-priced metals more expensive to holders of other currencies.

Wow, many market observers were wondering before the report if we got a six handle on the US headline CPI print with unemployment sub-5% and the Fed still buying $120 billion of bonds per month. Lo and behold we need not imagine any longer.

US inflation surged 6.2% in October, four-tenths above estimates and the highest in more than thirty years. On a monthly basis, the CPI increased 0.9% against the 0.6% estimate. Stripping out volatile food and energy prices, so-called core CPI was up 0.6% against the estimate of 0.4%. Annual core inflation ran at a 4.6% pace, compared to the 4.3% expectations and the highest since August 1991.

Prices swelled across all sectors, but the 0.7% m/m increase in housing has caught analysts’ eyes. This is a measure that reflect underlying trend inflation and is especially significant as it makes up around a third of the headline rate and roughly 40% of the core. Anything above 0.5% signals more persistent inflation ahead.

🌟As robust corporate earnings boosted risk appetite, this drew investors away from safe-haven destinations like the dollar to riskier assets.
📌Such was reflected in the Dollar Index (DXY) which shed roughly 0.3% since Monday with prices slipping towards 93.50 as of writing.
📌 As the Greenback lost ground, G10 currencies could stretch their feet with even some spreading their wings to aim for the skies. With the dollar likely to remain pressured by the risk-on mood, this may present fresh trading opportunities across the FX space.🔥🔥

🌟🌟Get your popcorn and grab a seat. This could be a big week for gold🔥.

📌📌After experiencing its biggest monthly loss since June, the precious metal has kicked off October in a choppy fashion with prices trading around $1765 as of writing.
📌📌 In September, gold bugs were squashed by an appreciating dollar, Fed taper expectations, and rising Treasury yields.
📌📌 Buying sentiment towards the precious metal failed to jumpstart despite the bouts of risk aversion with bears clearly in a position of power. Given how the technicals swing in favour of further downside, could a dramatic selloff be around the corner for gold?
