RBC expects the Canadian dollar to fade further to 68.96 cents U.S. by the second quarter .

The bank expects the bank to continue cutting rates to a “stimulative” 2 per cent by mid-year , widening the policy gap between the two central banks by 125 basis points.

Canada ’s economy continues to underperform its global peers and RBC thinks it will get worse before it gets better.
