8 decisions published for 2027 so far.
What the BoC announces, and when
- 9:45 am ET: the rate decision and press release are published.
- Four times a year (January, April, July and October) the announcement comes with the Monetary Policy Report, which includes the Bank’s economic projections.
- Because the announcement lands during the New York morning, USD/CAD often moves sharply in the minutes after 9:45 am ET.
Canada’s CPI and the Labour Force Survey from Statistics Canada are the key releases before each decision. See them all on the economic calendar, or this week’s schedule on the forex week ahead.
What a BoC decision moves
Rate decisions are among the biggest scheduled events for the CAD. The pairs that usually react most are USD/CAD, CAD/JPY and EUR/CAD. Spreads often widen in the minutes around the announcement and price can move fast in both directions, so many traders check the time in their own zone in advance and decide whether to hold positions through it.
To see the decision on your chart, switch on economic events in TradingView’s chart settings (our TradingView economic calendar guide shows how). To compare how the CAD is moving against the other majors, use the currency strength meter.
