The Canadian dollar could strengthen if the Bank of Canada's third-quarter Business Outlook Survey prompts investors to bring forward expectations for the first post-pandemic interest rate rise, ING said.
"This survey of 100 firms on their sales, investment and pricing expectations/intentions is an important input for the BOC ahead of its October 27 policy meeting," analysts at the Dutch bank said.
The BOC's meeting next week is key as it releases its quarterly monetary policy report, which includes the latest projections for inflation and economic growth, they say. EUR/CAD could fall toward 1.4250, they said.
