Bank of Canada Backpeddling

BANK OF CANADA BACKPEDDLING: The BOC left Oct rates unchanged this morning with a very cautious tone on Cdn economy ahead. In our view, the BOC may have to actually reverse their recent rate hikes over the next few months. This bizarre activity by the BOC is now triggering significant downward pressure on the Cdn dollar.

Bank of Canada appears to have definitely blinked . . . . Is our Fed gov't and BOC now on the same page?

Head and Shoulders pattern forming in the CAD. Closing at current levels would open the downside up to sub 75 cents.

Shit is getting real
This may have been the trigger

B of C had to raise rates otherwise they would have had to build more printing presses. That is why they upped in September while there still existed a few believers in Canuckistans 3.7% growth rate before the bad news reality became obvious. If they can't raise rates the B of C will have to do QE. Last time the FED did it for them. This will finish the job of wiping out savings and pension funds and any value in the loonie.

Giving some nice support to canola.

Low dollar and rising values in palm oil and bean oil are helping it along nicely.

Elevator basis is widening a bit due to lack of demand at the coast for canola.

Not sure if i'm still right thinking canola will drop below $500 but we'll see what happens. Next USDA report that comes out will be the deciding factor.

Or i'm wrong. 50/50

I don't understand why everyone thinks that having a worthless currency is the key to prosperity. Drop the dollar more. Why not have a loonie worth 0.01 US? Looks like we may find out what a 0.01 dollar does.

Aj you need a holiday, usa or Europe
It’s one way a country can be competitive on exports. But if you want a holiday or flip the jd line of equipment outch

Well, we would be very competitive.

Drop the dollar. Need more dollars to pay for stuff. Print more it drops more print more all the while the economy is slowing.


Presto. Hyperinflation

I was listening to a financial program on satellite radio and canada is now on the same list as Greece Italy Portugal and Spain. They were talking about getting away from cash and owning hard assets as we are on the path to becoming another Venezuela. It's starting to get real unless you listen to trudope or the media as they say economy is booming. It's time to tighten the purse strings and hope for the best.

sofa, good advice . . . U.S. is now past-due for a recession and 2018 will be a test. This will shake Canada's economy further. I'm disappointed with Ottawa leading consumers and taxpayers alike along the garden path of an economic boom and balancing budgets. Ain't gonna happen (IMO) . . . .
