The BoC is set to raise rates one last time on Wednesday with a 25bp hike, taking the overnight rate to 4.5%. Economic activity is slowing and inflation is coming down and what is likely to be characterised as a pause for assessment is set to mark the peak for rates.

Bank Of Canada Raises Key Interest Rate By Half Percentage Point To 3.75%

The Bank of Canada undershot its previously telegraphed +.75bps rate hike with a +50bps hike. While the US and Canadian central banks both say there's more tightening yet to do, what they've already done will slow demand and drive up unemployment for many months.

At its April meeting, the Bank of Canada accelerated its tightening cycle, building on March's 25-basis-point rate hike with a larger, 50bp increase to lift the overnight rate to 1%. The central bank accelerated tightening with a large rate hike and quantitative tightening, amid strong growth, elevated inflation and a tight labor market.

Above-target inflation, higher commodity prices, and concerns about financial stability prompted the Bank of Canada (BOC) to hasten its rate-hiking cycle. Buoyed by strong commodity prices, above-trend growth and inflation, a closed output gap, and an expected lag before higher rates affect consumers, BOC officials likely believe the economy can weather a faster hiking cycle.
