Bank of Canada’s Governor Poloz:

  • Terms of trade has been an important driver of the CAD
  • No choice in value of CAD, the currency has almost arithmetical relationship with prices of natural resources
  • Says he is not a fan of the CAD at one level or another, is focused on inflation target
  • Says he has no idea of how far the Canadian dollar will do
  • Reiterates US recovery is leading to CAD weakness
