Bank of Canada rate hikes to be limited by soft economy, report says (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Trade uncertainty and slowing immigration levels could restrict how high the Bank of Canada’s benchmark interest rate goes next year, according to a new report published by Capital Economics on Wednesday. The report argues that the risks plaguing Canada’s growth prospects will likely rein in inflationary pressures — limiting the degree of monetary policy tightening needed to keep prices in check. The Bank of Canada has held its benchmark interest rate at 2.25 per cent since last October as it ga
Economic growth flattens in July as ‘broader volatility’ sets in (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Economic growth cooled off ahead of the latest U.S. tariff volley this summer, Statistics Canada said Tuesday. The agency said real gross domestic product was essentially unchanged in July.

While many economists remain unconvinced that the central bank will raise the cost of borrowing this year, concerns that inflation could become a more persistent thorn than first thought have some pencilling in a tightening cycle to start in early 2027. The U.S. Federal Reserve broke its own stand-pat stance and delivered the United States’ first rate hi
