Despite the slow start, Canada accelerates the vaccinations and according to the prime minister, it is only the start. Meanwhile, Canada’s GDP announced much better than the Bank of Canada’s projections. These combined are giving Canadians a spring optimism. Consumer confidence rose to 3-year highs ahead of tomorrow’s BOC meeting. The markets don’t expect a policy change from the Bank of Canada, instead, they may change their forecast in the light of new data and acknowledge the recovery.
