Why Quarterly GDP matters for CAD
Quarter-on-quarter GDP growth directly informs the Bank of Canada's assessment of spare capacity in the Canada economy. Two consecutive negative prints define a technical recession, an event that can trigger a sustained shift in cad positioning.
How to interpret this series
A quarter-on-quarter rate above market expectations generally supports the cad, while a miss or contraction increases the likelihood of accommodative policy and can weigh on the exchange rate.
