Key Quotes
“The Canadian economy continues to show uncanny resilience. Government assistance to households remains generous and the bounceback in employment is more impressive in Canada than in the United States. Not only has total employment recovered faster, the participation rate has rebounded markedly.”
“This outperformance has led to a widening of short-rate spreads to the US and helped support the Canadian dollar. We have a 12-month target of C$1.28 to the USD but a cautious view for the period up to the US election.”
