💵🚨BANK OF CANADA UPDATE🚨💵
👉 Bank of Canada has increased its interest rate for the 1st time in over 3 years, now at 2.50%
👉The Decision: The Governing Council voted to increase the policy rate from 2.25% to 2.5%. This is the first interest rate hike by the central bank since July 2023.
👉Reasoning: Governor Tiff Macklem noted that inflation risks have increased due to elevated energy and oil prices, and the central bank wants to prevent these costs from spilling over into generalized inflation.
👉Inflation Outlook: The Bank of Canada revised its inflation and economic growth forecasts higher, projecting that annual inflation will remain above 3% through much of next year.
👉Future Path: The Bank stated it will make future decisions one meeting at a time, leaving the door open for additional hikes if economic data and global uncertainties (such as Middle East conflicts and U.S. trade policy) persist.
