Fundamental view
Canada’s Gross Domestic Product probably expanded 0.2% during February compared to January, according to the median estimate by experts, as in the previous month, the GDP figure rose by 0.5%. Annualized GDP, on the other hand, advanced 2.5% in January and is expected to have remained intact in February. The official figures are to be announced at 12:30 GMT. A faster than expected pace of economic growth would certainly heighten the appeal of the Canadian currency.
