• As of last week close, the CAD curve continues to be the second most aggressive in terms of tightening, just after the NZD. The BoC is seen delivering 5&1/2 rate hikes this year and the chance of a rate hike stands above 100% for both March and April meetings

This means all meetings are 'live' and the market sees above 60% chance of hikes in every single one of them until September

• In the EUR front, the ECB is not expected to move until October, with a 70% chance of a hike. The eurozone economy is currently lagging the U.S., policymakers are likely to push expectations lower on Thursday. In other news, 10-year bund yield holds positive ground on Tuesday session.
