Version 0.45 (2024-05-02 23:56:37.816000)

updates: Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem cautions that interest rates are unlikely to return to pre-pandemic levels and will fall gradually. He states that even when the Bank of Canada starts reducing interest rates, it will be a slow process. Financial markets are pricing in a 60% chance of the Bank of Canada easing monetary policy at its next meeting in June. The trajectory of interest rates is important for Canadian mortgage holders, as many face significant payment increases. One reason for the gradual decline in Canadian interest rates is the strength of the U.S. economy and the hawkish tilt of the U.S. Federal Reserve. Macklem believes that Canadian interest rates don't have to match those in the U.S., but there is a limit to how far they can diverge. Bank of Canada officials believe that interest rates will be higher in the future due to structural changes in the global economy. These changes include changing patterns of saving and spending, costs associated with climate change, and splintering global trade. However, Macklem states that the neutral rate is more of a theoretical concept and doesn't have a great impact on monetary policy in the short term. [9f8bce0e]

Version 0.42 (2024-05-02 16:54:51.822000)

updates: Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem highlights the need for Canadian interest rates to stay within a certain range and not necessarily match U.S. or global rates. The Bank of Canada is expected to begin lowering its policy rate in the coming months, while the U.S. Federal Reserve may take longer. The Bank of Canada's key interest rate is currently below the Federal Reserve's target range. Recent progress on inflation has encouraged the Bank of Canada, and forecasters expect the policy rate to be lowered in June or July. [5ead06f6]

Version 0.38 (2024-04-24 22:52:52.267000)

updates: The Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) economists suggest that the Bank of Canada should focus on domestic economic conditions rather than the actions of the U.S. Federal Reserve or concerns about the Canadian dollar. The RBC report argues that the weaker Canadian economy calls for more urgency in cutting interest rates compared to other countries. RBC expects the Bank of Canada to deliver its first rate cut in June and to drop rates by 100 basis points this year. The report also notes that the potential for a weaker Canadian dollar should not deter the Bank of Canada from cutting rates, as historical exchange rate shifts have not had a significant impact on inflation [5238ef6f].

Version 0.3 (2024-04-10 22:18:43.702000)

updates: The Bank of Canada is considering an interest rate cut in June, although it won't be rushed into it if inflation rises. The central bank has kept its key interest rate at 5% for the sixth consecutive time and believes it has seen the necessary economic conditions for lower interest rates. However, it wants more certainty before implementing rate cuts. Economists expect the central bank to begin lowering its policy rate around the middle of the year, with June being a likely target. The central bank is focused on measures of core inflation and wants to see the slowdown in underlying inflation continue. The Bank of Canada has slightly revised its forecast for inflation lower this year and expects it to return to the 2% target by the end of 2025. Economic growth is expected to be stronger than previously anticipated.

updates: The Canadian economy is facing challenges in a slow/no growth state with high inflation. The Bank of Canada's role in policymaking is crucial. The Canadian economy is underperforming compared to the United States due to higher household debt and lower budgetary deficits. The slowdown is widespread across different industries. The Bank of Canada is expected to begin cutting interest rates by mid-2024. The strong growth in the Canadian economy at the end of 2023 has eased pressure on the Bank of Canada to cut rates. The strong growth in the U.S. economy may delay rate cuts in Canada. The exchange rate of the Canadian dollar to the U.S. greenback also influences the Bank of Canada's decisions.

updates: The article highlights the economic disparity between Quebec and the United States, with Quebec's economy stagnating while the US economy continues to boom. The significant increase in interest rates in Canada has affected homeowners, especially those with variable rate mortgages. Rising rates hurt less in the United States because most mortgages have 30-year terms. Americans continue to increase their consumer spending, while Canadians are slowing down and saving money to prepare for rising mortgage payments. The Biden government has provided massive support to the American economy, leading to business investments continuing to grow. Productivity in Canada has been lower than in the United States for decades, and in the last five years, it has declined by 0.3% per year on average. This growing gap is harming the Canadian economy and weakening the Canadian dollar against the US dollar. Quebec's productivity is even lower than the Canadian average. [de1d7a87]
