The Canadian dollar weakened significantly after weaker-than-expected inflation data, with a notable drop in headline CPI to 1.6% influenced by falling gasoline prices. The inflation below the BOC target of 2% increased the chance of a 50 bpbs rate cut by the Bank of Canada at its October 23 meeting.
In contrast, the British pound found support from mixed labor market data, with the unemployment rate falling to 4%, while wage growth slowed. This situation presents a balanced outlook regarding a potential rate cut from the Bank of England (BoE) in November, with market attention now turning to the forthcoming UK CPI data.
