Canadian Dollar: BoC minutes watched for inflation tone – TD Securities
TD Securities strategists expect the Bank of Canada’s (BoC) Summary of Deliberations to shed light on the July decision, focusing on how policymakers view inflation amid recent energy price moves and Consumer Price Index (CPI) forecast revisions. They look for confirmation that inflation expectations remain anchored, limited pass-through to core inflation, and any fresh comments on trade uncertainty after prior guidance on trade-related rate cuts was removed.
Focus on inflation expectations and trade
"The Bank of Canada's Summary of Deliberations will provide some added context for the July policy decision when published Wednesday afternoon, where we will be focused on the discussion around the evolution of the Bank's inflation outlook amid the recent pullback in energy prices and upward revisions to the Bank's CPI forecasts."
"We look for the minutes to note that inflation expectations remain anchored and that higher energy prices have not yet spilled into core inflation measures."
"We will also be looking for any comments around trade uncertainty after the Bank removed the language around new trade restrictions leading to potential rate cuts from its guidance in July."

Understanding the US Treasury's "Black Wednesday": The "Perfect Storm" Impact and the Rising Tide of "October Rate Hike"
U.S. Treasury bonds suffered their worst single-day sell-off in nearly 18 months: surging oil prices, explosive PMI data, hawkish comments from the Federal Reserve, and a lackluster 5-year Treasury auction combined to create four simultaneous negative factors. The 10-year yield broke above 5.1%, reaching a new high since 2007; the market's probability of another rate hike in October soared to 68%, and the swap market is now pricing in expectations of three rate hikes over the next year. Analysts believe that more than 80% of this sell-off is driven by real interest rates, with the 30-year mortgage rate surpassing 7% and doubts persisting about the effectiveness of the Treasury’s buyback plan.
