Canada Inflation

The country’s annual inflation rate picked up the pace last month to 1.4 per cent as the influence of last year’s oil-price plunge faded in the economic data. Statistics Canada’s November inflation reading, released Friday, accelerated from just one per cent in October. But economists noted the inflationary increase had more to do with the waning impact of the late-2014 slide in energy prices than any surge in underlying inflationary pressure. The annual core inflation rate, which excludes some volatile items such as gasoline, slowed in last month when it rose by just two per cent. That’s compared to an October increase of 2.1 per cent in the underlying core rate, which is closely followed by the Bank of Canada.

Trade Idea

Considering the overall technical and fundamental outlook, buying the pair around current levels appears to be a good strategy in short to medium term.
