  • Unemployment Rate in Canada expected to rise a tad to 5.1%, with job growth losing momentum in May.
  • Canadian Dollar bulls will need an upbeat jobs report to extend the uptrend versus the US Dollar.
  • Bank of Canada unexpectedly raised its policy rate in June but a weak jobs report could attract dovish bets.

The Canadian Labor Force Survey report, released by Statistics Canada, is scheduled for release at 12:30 GMT, on June 9. Markets expect the Unemployment Rate to tick higher to 5.1% in May from 5% in April. Net Change in Employment, which rose by 41,400 in April, is forecast to increase by 23,200.

The Bank of Canada (BoC) unexpectedly announced earlier in the week that it raised its policy rate by 25 basis points (bps) to 4.75% after having left it unchanged at 4.5% in March and April. Upcoming labor market data could influence the Canadian Dollar’s (CAD) performance against its rivals. A stronger-than-expected growth in payrolls and wage inflation, as measured by the Average Hourly Earnings, could help the CAD gather strength against its rivals by suggesting that the BoC could continue to tighten its policy. On the other hand, the currency is likely to have a hard time finding demand if the jobs report reveals loosening conditions in the labor market
