20bp Of Cuts Priced For Next Week's BoC Ahead of CPI

CANADA
  • BoC-dated OIS currently has around 20bp of cuts priced for next week and a cumulative 27bp for Sept, reinforcing what we currently see as an “either/or” rather than “and” decision re July and September cut prospects.
  • 3M CORRA futures are underperforming their SOFR counterparts ahead of CPI. They still see 63bp of cuts through 2024 contracts (vs 45bps pre US and Canadian jobs reports on Jul 5), and 150bp of cuts by end-2025.
  • We feel that consensus readings for headline and core CPI should give the BoC sufficient confidence to cut for a second consecutive meeting in July considering the further weakening seen in the labour market (the unemployment rate has increased to 6.4% vs 6.1% prior to its June meeting). However, details within the report will clearly matter and could leave the July decision somewhat more evenly balanced.
