3:00 pm BST - Bank of Canada rate decision. The Bank of Canada cut the main interest rate to 0.25% in March. The Bank is expected to stay on hold today when it comes to rates. However, an increase to asset purchases may be announced. A point to note is that press is usually allowed to access rate announcements prior to its release so they can prepare media reports. This time no such thing will take place due to the ban on gatherings in Ontario, Canada. Having said that, CAD volatility around announcement time is likely to be much higher than usual.
3:30 pm BST - DOE report on oil inventories. API data released yesterday showed another massive build. Given that the oil market is experiencing huge oversupply, the situation may continue for weeks, or at least until storage runs out. While OPEC+ and G20 nations agreed on coordinated output cuts, it is not sure if the size of cuts will be enough to stabilize the market.
