US two-year Treasury rates, highly sensitive to Fed predictions, climbed to a nearly one-month high of 4.231% overnight and stayed at this level during Wednesday’s trade in Tokyo.

James Bullard, the head of the St. Louis Fed, said in an interview with Reuters that he leans toward adding 75 basis points of tightening.

On Tuesday, the Canadian dollar hardly moved in relation to its American counterpart as investors noted that, as expected, Canada’s inflation dropped to its lowest level in 19 months.

The annual inflation rate in Canada decreased to 4.3% in March from 5.2% in February, which was in line with predictions. Reducing energy prices helped balance a record-high increase in mortgage expenses.

There isn’t much reason for the market to alter its predictions for what the Bank of Canada will do this year because almost all the numbers met forecasts.

Money market data indicated that the Canadian central bank would maintain its policy rate at 4.50% for the remainder of 2023.
