Canadian dollar hits six-week high as investors cheer reopening of China’s borders


The Canadian dollar CADUSD strengthened to its highest level in more than six weeks against its U.S. counterpart on Monday, as investors grew more optimistic about the global economy and domestic data showed building permits rebounding in November.

Equity markets globally and the price of oil rose as investors scaled back expectations for U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate hikes and after China’s move to reopen its borders boosted the global economic outlook.

U.S. crude prices were up nearly 3 per cent at $75.96 a barrel. Oil is one of Canada’s major exports.

The value of Canadian building permits climbed by 14.1 per cent in November from October after declining 5.3 per cent in October, data from Statistics Canada showed.

It follows data on Friday showing that the Canadian economy added much more jobs than expected in December, boosting expectations for a quarter-point interest rate hike by the Bank of Canada later this month.

BoC Governor Tiff Macklem is due to participate in a panel discussion in Stockholm, Sweden on Tuesday, which could offer further clues on the policy outlook.

The Canadian dollar was trading 0.3 per cent higher at 1.3407 to the greenback, or 74.59 U.S. cents, after touching its strongest intraday level since Nov. 25 at 1.3358.

Speculators have cut their bearish bets on the Canadian dollar, data from the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission showed on Friday.

As of Jan. 3, net short positions had decreased to 26,766 contracts from 30,033 in the prior week.

Canadian government bond yields were mixed across a steeper curve. The 2-year eased 1.5 basis points to 3.969 per cent, while the 10-year was up 4.2 basis points at 3.131 per cent.

An Existentialist Guide to Feeling Nothing

Image
I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...

What Are SQL Stored Procedures and How Do You Create Them?

Image
Stored procedures: like functions for your SQL. A stored procedure is a batch of SQL statements created and stored on a database. You can reuse a stored procedure over and over again. A stored procedure can accept parameters, run a query, and return results. Many users can call a stored procedure and different applications can call it with different parameter values. What Are the Benefits of Using Stored Procedures? Apart from allowing multiple users and applications to reuse it, a stored procedure has other benefits. It is easy to modify. You can change a stored procedure when necessary and these updates will be reflected for all users. Furthermore, you don’t need to redeploy your application when you modify the stored procedure. It reduces network traffic because the server only passes the procedure’s name over the network and not the entire query. It improves database security since users don’t have direct access to tables. To make...
