Markets fully expect the Bank of Canada to deliver its second half-point rate hike in as many months at its upcoming rate decision meeting on Wednesday. In June, the Bank hiked its overnight target rate by 50 basis points, bringing it to 1.00%, citing an βincreasing riskβ that expectations of high inflation could become βentrenched.β With headline inflation reaching a 31-year high of 6.8% in April, and core inflation at a 32-year high of 4.23%, the Bank of Canada is widely expected to c...

The Bank of Canada surprised markets on Wednesday by delivering a lower-than-expected 50-basis-point rate hike, its sixth consecutive rate increase of the year. That brings the benchmark rate to 3.75%, 350 basis points higher compared to where it began the year. Markets had overwhelmingly expected a 75-bps hike following the release of September inflation data, which showed price growth still stubbornly high. But the Bankβs decision to hike by only 50 bps signals potential concerns about we...

All eyes will be on the Bank of Canadaβs interest rate decision this week, which some say could be its last increase of the year, and perhaps of this rate cycle. Markets are pricing in a 75-bps hike, which would bring the Bank of Canadaβs overnight rate to 3.25%, just above its 2%-3% βneutralβ range and into restrictive territory. If that happens, economists from CIBC, TD Bank and National Bank of Canada believe this could be the central bankβs last rate hike of this cycle, with the ...

Markets and economists alike overwhelmingly expect the Bank of Canada to lift its policy rate by 75 basis points when it meets this Wednesday. If it does, it would be the BoCβs largest rate hike since 1998. That would take the Bankβs target overnight rate to 2.25%, and implies a prime rate (upon which variable-rate mortgages and lines of credit are priced) of 4.45%. The last time Canadians saw a prime rate above 4% was back in 2008. Experts agree that with inflation still stubbornly at 7...

If CIBC economists are correct, the Bank of Canadaβs expected rate hike next week will be its last of this rate-hike cycle. In a report published last week, economists Benjamin Tal and Karyne Charbonneau say they expect the Bank of Canada to hike another 75 bps next week, and will then call it a day, leaving the overnight target rate at 3.25% βfor the duration of 2023.β They also see the 5-year bond yield averaging 2.45% in 2022 and 2.3% in 2023, which they say translates to close to $19 ...
