Japan&#8217;s economy according to him is likely to begin moderate recovery as global growth improves and domestic demand returns to previous levels due to monetary easing and various stimulus measures.<\/p>\n<p><b>CAD expected to be boosted by domestic inflation rate<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Canadian inflation data which is due to be released today is expected to increase to an annualized 0.9% in May, and this expected to boost the CAD if the data release manages to increase speculations for increase in borrowing costs. However, Bank of Canada (BoC) Governor Stephen Poloz might go for a neutral wait and watch approach for the second-half of the year amid the current domestic economic slowdown.<\/p>\n<p><i>Going on holiday?
