CANADA BOC: Gov Stephen Poloz says effects of US steel and aluminum 
tariffs and retaliation, both in Canada and globally, will be prominent 
in BOC's upcoming deliberations and will be incorporated in July 
projectns. New lending guidelines impact on hsg mkt and mortg renewals 
in Canada will also 'figure prominently' in deliberations. Poloz also 
excluded fwd guidance now, as it wld put BOC's credibility at risk given 
the 'complex uncertainties we face today.' Fin mkts understood May 30 
message; but drafting each int rate announcement on a blank page. BOC 
'particularly data-dependent right now'. Cannot mechanically follow rate 
path provided by models. No fwd guidance has resulted in stronger mkt 
signalling. Mkt signals have never been more valuable to policy makers. 
Speech to Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce, BC, otherwise focused on 
BOC's efforts to be more transparent.
