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...

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 ...

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...

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 ...

With interest rates now in restrictive territory and signs of economic weakness, the Bank of Canada is facing one of its most important decisions in this rate-hike cycle, according to some. “Canadian monetary policymakers have a major decision to make [this] week,” wrote Royce Mendes, Managing Director and Head of Macros Strategy at Desjardins. “In fact, it will be the most crucial deliberation of this rate-hiking cycle so far.” Following the release of September inflation data last wee...

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.

Canada’s economy has a bad weed growing in it. It’s called inflation, and our central bank hasn’t pulled it fast enough.

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 ...
