Goldman Sachs: What we expect from January BOC and USD/CAD strategy ...Middle East

Key Points:

A 25bps cut aligns with market expectations, continuing the BoC’s easing cycle.

Messaging Crucial for CAD:

Focus will shift to how the BoC signals the pace of future rate cuts.Risks include near-term CAD strength if the BoC hesitates to commit to continued cuts.

Tariff threats from the US create an overhang, influencing the BoC's cautious tone.

Medium-Term USD/CAD View:

Goldman remains comfortable with below-consensus estimates for Canada’s neutral rate.Long USD/CAD is a preferred medium-term strategy, reflecting potential headwinds from tariffs.

Goldman Sachs sees potential for near-term CAD support if the BoC sounds hesitant about further cuts. However, their medium-term view remains firmly tilted toward USD/CAD upside, driven by tariff risks and a relatively dovish BoC outlook. Long USD/CAD remains a favored trade.
