Bank of America Merrill Lynch Research discusses it expectations for next week’s BoC September policy meeting

“We expect the BoC to remain on hold on 5 Sep, but to leave the door open to further hikes. We expect the next hike on Oct. Across the next four central bank meetings we anticipate two hikes from the BoC and two hikes from the US Fed.

We expect 10y CAD at 2.65% by year-end. Our revised USDCAD forecast is 1.34 in 3Q and 1.37 in 4Q,” BofAML argues.
