Canadian dollar rallies as China reopening hopes boost oil prices


The Canadian dollar CADUSD strengthened against its U.S. counterpart on Wednesday, clawing back nearly all of its previous day’s decline, as hopes that China would soon reopen its economy bolstered commodity prices.

The price of oil, one of Canada’s major exports, was up 3.8 per cent at $81.14 a barrel on signs of tighter supply and optimism over a Chinese demand recovery.

The Chinese city of Guangzhou has relaxed COVID prevention rules in several districts in an effort to implement rules authorities announced this month aimed at easing the burden of the strict zero-COVID policy.

World equity markets were lifted by hopes that inflation is peaking and a re-opening of China’s economy is near, while the U.S. dollar lost ground against a basket of major currencies ahead of a speech by U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell later in the day.

The Canadian dollar was trading 0.6 per cent higher at 1.3502 to the greenback, or 74.06 U.S. cents, after moving in a range of 1.3497 to 1.3593.

Among G10 currencies, only the Norwegian crown notched a bigger gain. Norway is also a major producer of oil.

On Tuesday, the loonie touched its weakest level in nearly four weeks at 1.3645, in a move that analysts said was likely transaction-driven and despite data showing that Canada’s economy grew faster-than-expected in the third quarter.

Canadian government bond yields were higher across the curve on Wednesday, tracking the move in U.S. Treasuries.

The 10-year touched its highest in more than one week at 3.067 per cent before dipping to 3.043 per cent, up 4.7 basis points on the day.

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...
