The Impacts of the Fed’s Interest Rate Hike on Canada: Financial Markets and Prospect of International Companies
* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
Canada is not only a geographic neighbor of the United States, but also one of its most important trading partners. The Fed's interest rate hike has had many effects on Canada, not only in terms of its impact on financial markets, but also in terms of its impact on international trade. This paper will discuss the perspective of financial markets, the impacts of the Fed's interest rate hike on the exchange rate market, the stock market and the bond market. In terms of international trade, Cenovus Energy Inc. will be taken as an example to study the impacts on international trade between the two countries based on the existing background from 2020 to 2022 because during the past three years, there were the period that the Fed did not adjust interest rates and the period that the Fed raised interest rates suddenly. Finally, conclusions will be drawn from the above analysis, and some recommendations for Canadian monetary authority, multinational corporations, and investors will be given.
