The initial report on the fourth-quarter US gross domestic product will likely reveal a 2% annualized growth. Moreover, the report might show that the US avoided a recession in 2023. Furthermore, it will likely indicate a slowdown in inflation during the last quarter. This could fuel expectations of potential rate cuts in the first half of 2024.

Meanwhile, the Canadian dollar weakened after the Bank of Canada held its key overnight rate at 5% on Wednesday. Additionally, it emphasized a shift in focus from concerns about underlying inflation to considering when to cut rates.

Canadian money markets expect a 25 basis point cut in June. The BoC removed language from previous policy statements on possible rate hikes. However, Governor Macklem later mentioned that the possibility of additional rate hikes had not been ruled out.

Furthermore, the BoC adjusted its growth outlook, anticipating weak growth in the first quarter, followed by a gradual pickup. Inflation will likely stay around 3% in the first half of 2024, easing to 2.5% in the second half. Meanwhile, a return to the 2% target will likely happen sometime in 2025.
