This morning, we had a crucial release—the RBA meeting minutes. It struck a hawkish tone, hinting at the need to maintain higher rates for an extended period. Market expectations for cuts in 2024 shifted after these minutes, leading to an immediate impact on the Australian dollar, driving a bullish surge.

Tonight, the focus is on Canada's CPI release. Most markets anticipate subdued inflation, but the Bank of Canada maintains a hawkish stance on rates. This creates an interesting scenario—if economic indicators hint at a slowdown, it could challenge their intention to sustain higher rates.

Oil prices played a significant role in recent market movements, particularly due to geopolitical tensions. The surge in oil prices in October, triggered by conflict, quickly reversed as investors assessed the situation. Profits were taken, resulting in downward pressure on gold and US oil.

Canada, heavily reliant on oil exports, felt the impact. The price drop in oil influenced their economy, given its substantial revenue from this sector.
