Скачать или смотреть Bank of Canada Announcement & Interest Rate Cut Expectations

Today, the Bank of Canada maintained its overnight lending rate, as anticipated. However, the focus now shifts to the forthcoming Bank of Canada meeting on June 5th.

Many have speculated about a potential rate cut in June, but is it truly a foregone conclusion?

Here's why I'm not entirely convinced:

The primary objective of higher interest rates is to curb inflation. While March showed promising improvement with inflation at 2.8%, it hasn't yet reached the target of 2%. Additionally, recent data from the U.S. reveals a concerning trend with inflation surging to 3.5% for three consecutive months. Could Canada follow this trend? We'll get our next inflation reading on April 16th.

Though I'm personally hopeful for rate cuts, the landscape remains uncertain.

8 of 13 economist polled by Bloomberg predict a rate cut in June.

Stay tuned as I monitor these developments closely. I'll ensure you're among the first to know when the decision unfolds.

Until then, let's stay informed and prepared. hashtag#BankofCanada hashtag#FinancialOutlook hashtag#EconomicTrends hashtag#StayInformed
