abstract: As widely expected by the market, the Bank of Canada (BoC) On Wednesday, it was decided for the third consecutive time to maintain the main interest rate at 5%. According to the Bank of Canada, the latest data "indicates that the economy is no longer experiencing excess demand.". The tone of the statement implies that there will be no future interest rate hikes. The Bank of Canada stated that it still feels the risk of inflation ...

As widely expected by the market, the Bank of Canada (BoC) On Wednesday, it was decided for the third consecutive time to maintain the main interest rate at 5%。根据加拿大央行的说法,最新数据“表明经济不再出现需求过剩”。声明的语气暗示未来不会加息。 

加拿大央行表示,仍对通胀风险感到担忧,但没有明确提及风险正在增加。他们指出,利率上升抑制了支出,劳动力市场继续放缓。 

会后不会举行新闻发布会。货币政策报告将于 2024 year 1 month 24 日在加拿大央行 (BoC) 下一次会议上发布。周四,副行长 Toni Gravelle 将在温莎-埃塞克斯地区商会发表讲话,这是继 12 月加拿大央行会议之后首次发表评论会议。 


加拿大央行政策声明要点:

加拿大央行今天将隔夜利率目标维持在 5%,银行利率为 5.5%,存款利率为 5%。央行继续实施量化紧缩政策。

较高的利率显然抑制了支出:过去两个季度的消费增长接近于零,商业投资虽然波动较大,但与过去一年基本持平。

劳动力市场持续放​​缓:就业创造慢于劳动力增长,职位空缺进一步下降,失业率小幅上升。即便如此,工资仍上涨4-5%。

总体而言,第四季度的这些数据和指标表明经济不再处于需求过剩状态。

经济放缓正在减轻各种商品和服务价格的通胀压力。 

随着进一步迹象表明货币政策正在放缓支出并缓解物价压力,央行理事会决定将政策利率维持在5%,并继续实现央行资产负债表正常化。

理事会仍然担心通胀前景的风险,并准备在必要时进一步提高政策利率。 

管委会希望看到核心通胀进一步持续缓和,并继续关注经济供需平衡、通胀预期、工资增长和企业定价行为。 


市场对加拿大央行利率决定的反应 

在加拿大央行做出决定后,加元(CAD)小幅上涨。美元/加元保持相对稳定,徘徊在 1.3565 附近,当天处于负值区域。
