Summary of the most interesting economic events from the trading week of 21-27 October 2024

Another Monday recap is out. Let's recap the highlights from last week together to keep us in the loop.

CAD

Last week's most important event was Wednesday's meeting of the Bank of Canada, which cut its benchmark interest rate by an estimated 50 basis points. With data suggesting a slowdown in Canadian inflation, the central bank reacted correctly. The central bank expects inflation to be near the target range in the near term. The BoC mentioned that if the economy develops roughly in line with the latest forecast, it expects to cut the key interest rate further. This is a negative for the CAD.
