Targeting high inflation is the Bank of Canada's top priority, and it's prepared to raise interest rates "forcefully" if that's what's need.

Over the past week, nearly all of Canada’s Big-6 banks have increased their shorter-term fixed mortgage rates. The rate hikes have largely been limited to 1-, 2- and 3-year fixed mortgage products, including both special offer and posted mortgage rates. The hikes were seen at TD, Scotiabank, RBC, BMO and National Bank of Canada, and range from 10 to 55 basis points. But the big banks haven’t been the only lenders raising rates on those terms. According to data from MortgageLogic.news, the ...

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 “increasing risk” that expectations of high inflation could become “entrenched.” 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...

While today’s 50-bps rate hike was no surprise, the Bank of Canada’s hawkish statement that accompanied it was. Today’s rate increase—the second half-point hike in as many months, and the third of the year—was fully priced in by markets. It brings the Bank’s key lending rate to 1.50%, 125 basis points above its record-low levels, where it sat throughout the pandemic. Markets were instead focused on the accompanying statement, where the Bank reaffirmed its commitment to essentially ...

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 Bank’s decision to hike by only 50 bps signals potential concerns about we...

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 BoC’s largest rate hike since 1998. That would take the Bank’s 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...

All eyes will be on the Bank of Canada’s 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 Canada’s overnight rate to 3.25%, just above its 2%-3% “neutral” range and into restrictive territory. If that happens, economists from CIBC, TD Bank and National Bank of Canada believe this could be the central bank’s last rate hike of this cycle, with the ...

If CIBC economists are correct, the Bank of Canada’s 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% “for the duration of 2023.” 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 ...
