The Canadian Dollar shed 0.4% against the Greenback on Friday.
Canada saw a worse-than-expected print in net new jobs additions in October.
Average Canadian wages also rose, maintaining upward pressure on inflation expectations.
The Canadian Dollar flubbed a near-term technical recovery on Friday, slumping back into familiar lows against the Greenback. The Loonie remains under pressure as the Bank of Canada (BoC) continues to keep downward pressure on interest rates in the face of lagging employment figures, though the Canadian central bank is quickly running out of runway as rising wages keep inflation expectations simmering in the background.
Canada reported a much lower than expected print in Net Change in Employment in October, entirely missing the mark as job gains continue to wither. Canadian Average Hourly Wages also rebounded, reminding investors of Canada’s ongoing battle with still-high inflation expectations despite overall price growth well outpacing wages across the gamut of timeframes.
