16:08 July 12, 2023

The Bank of Canada (BoC) raised its overnight rate target to 4.75%, which is consistent with its quantitative tightening policy. The bank’s decision is in line with forecasts that called for a 25 basis point rate hike. The data is not surprising, but the prospects for further rate hikes will depend on further inflation data. The Bank of Canada also expects CPI prices to return to target levels in six months.
