The Canadian dollar reversed its course following the Fed's interest rate decision, seeing its greatest daily appreciation in a year but such gains are likely to fade in the near-term, says CIBC World Markets Research.

"Look for Governor Poloz to retain a dovish tilt in April, especially given that Trump-related risks have yet to be resolved," CIBC argues.

As such, CIBC argues that a few months the stronger post-Fed loonie will likely look like just a 'flash in the pan' on the way to an even weaker exchange rate.

CIBC targets USD/CAD at 1.36 by the end of Q2, and at 1.39 by the end of Q3.

Barclays Capital FX Strategy now sees room for further near-term USD consolidation in light of last week's 'unhurried' Fed which boosted risk assets and weakened the USD as the central bank seemed in no hurry to project a higher path of rate hikes next year.

In particular, Barclays expects further near-term USD weakness, concentrated primarily against high-yielding currencies.

"History suggests that this point in the Fed's tightening cycle is typically followed by further near-term USD weakness, stable equity prices and lower 10y UST yields," Barclays notes.

Barclays also continues to forecast two more rate hikes this year and three hikes in 2018 and expect to hear more from the committee about its balance sheet policies at the June FOMC.

Annual rate of increase lowest since April 2013 at +2.3%, though overall demand remains strong:

• Rightmove traffic at record January levels, with visits up 3% on January 2016's buy-to-let boosted period

• Investor sectors understandably quieter than this time last year on number of properties coming to market and number of properties sold

• Slower rate of price increases makes it riskier for sellers to over-price their property:

• Analysis shows sellers are 40% more likely to sell if priced right when they first come to market

• Three quarters of agents surveyed by Rightmove report price-sensitive markets with buyers reluctant to enquire if property is priced just a few percent too high

• Price of property coming to market up 2.0% (+£5,986) this month, the smallest price rise at this time of year since February 2009
