However, the Governing Council (GC) noted that inflation was declining, aligned with the BoC’s forecasts. Moreover, it signaled that no rate cuts are expected in 2023, and the bank will act if higher rates are needed.

Aside from this, the US economic docket revealed Durable Good Orders for March exceeded estimates and rose 3.2% MoM, above the last month’s reading. Excluding transportation, the so-called core Orders climbed 0.3%, above forecasts.

US Treasury bond yields were gaining ground and helped the greenback to bounce from two-week lows, reaching 101.013, according to the US Dollar Index (DXY). The DXY sits at 101.468, down 0.37%.
