Volatility in energy markets during August likely can be blamed for any near-term downswing in price pressures, as the upcoming Canada inflation report will show. At approximately 11% of GDP, the energy sector and therefore the performance of oil prices tend to have outsized influences on Canadian economic data.

正如即将出台的加拿大通胀报告所显示的那样，8月份能源市场的波动可能可归咎于价格压力的近期下滑。约占国内生产总值的11％，能源部门以及因此油价的表现往往对加拿大经济数据产生过大影响。

Accordingly, a Bloomberg News surveys consensus forecasts suggest a softening in price pressures. Headline August Canada inflation due in at 1.9% from 2.0% (y/y), while the monthly reading is due in at -0.2% from 0.5% (m/m). It still holds that movement in energy markets will guide the Canadian Dollar and inflation all the same.

因此，彭博新闻调查的共识预测表明价格压力减弱。标题8月加拿大通胀率从2.0％（同比）下降1.9％，而月度数据应从0.5％（月比）下降至-0.2％。它仍然认为，能源市场的走势将引导加元和通胀一路走来。

BANK OF CANADA INTEREST RATE EXPECTATIONS (SEPTEMBER 13, 2019) (TABLE 1)

G10 currencies central banks have seen their easing expectations drop in recent weeks; the Bank of Canada is no different. As such, soft inflation data may be otherwise dismissed. Traders should keep expectations low for a policy change from the Bank of Canada any time soon; the odds for additional stimulus have moved sharply lower in recent weeks. Four weeks earlier, overnight index swaps were pricing in only a 66% chance of a 25-bps rate cut in October; now, odds of an October rate cut are 10%.

G10货币中央银行见过他们的最近几周放松预期;加拿大银行也不例外。因此，软通胀数据可能会被驳回。交易者应该很快就会对加拿大银行的政策变化保持低预期;最近几周，额外刺激措施的可能性大幅下降。四周前，隔夜指数掉期价格在10月份降息25个基点的可能性仅为66％;现在，10月降息的可能性是10％。

Even though Fed Chair Jerome Powell has said in recent months that the Fed would “act as appropriate” if needed, the dramatic rise in US Treasury yields suggests that there is a strong feeling among market participants that the Fed will not be as aggressively dovish when it meets this coming Wednesday.

尽管美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔近几个月已经表示美联储将在必要时采取“适当行动”，但美国国债收益率的大幅上涨表明，市场参与者强烈认为美联储不会那么积极地温和。它将在即将到来的星期三举行。

FEDERAL RESERVE INTEREST RATE EXPECTATIONS (SEPTEMBER 13, 2019) (TABLE 1)

联邦储备利率预期（2019年9月13日）（表1）

Now, Fed funds futures continue to price in a 100% chance of a 25-bps rate cut at the September Fed meeting. Odds of a 50-bps rate cut have rebounded since Thursday, September 12 (a 25-bps rate hike is no longer more likely than a 50-bps rate cut). Meanwhile, odds of another 25-bps rate cut by December have dropped to 68% - down from 76% on Thursday, September 12.

现在，联邦基金期货继续以9月美联储会议降息25个基点的100％的可能性定价。自9月12日周四以来，50个基点降息的可能性已经反弹（加息25个基点不再比降息50个基点更可能）。与此同时，12月再降息25个基点的可能性已降至68％ - 低于9月12日周四的76％。
