Top Gainers and Losers: Canadian Dollar and South African Rand
Top Gainers - global market
Over the past 7 days, the US dollar index has not changed much. Investors expect the Fed to increase the rate by another 0.5% at the May 4 meeting. Now the rate is 0.5% and looks very low against the backdrop of strong US inflation in March (+8.5% y/y). The Canadian dollar strengthened on the Bank of Canada (BoC) rate hike to 1% from 0.5% last week. We note that in March, Canadian inflation reached 6.7% y/y and exceeded the forecast (+4.9% y/y). Theoretically, because of this, the rate hike could continue. However, the next meeting of the BoC will not take place soon - on June 1. The South African rand weakened amid poor economic performance. Inflation in South Africa reached 5.9% y/y. This is above the South African Reserve Bank rate, which is currently 4.25%. The next meeting of the bank will be on May 19. In addition, the decline in South Africa Mining Production by 6.4% m/m turned out to be worse than the forecast (-0.2% m/m). In general, against the background of the stabilization of the US dollar, there has been a slight decrease in prices for commodities. This had a negative impact not only on the South African rand, but also on the Australian and New Zealand dollars.
