Bank of Canada Leaves Rate Steady, Ready for Cut or Hike -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
昨天

1017 ET - The Bank of Canada, as widely expected, left its benchmark interest rate unchanged, as it balances two competing forces -- upward inflation pressure due to the war in Iran, and U.S. trade policy that's casting a pall over business investment and hiring. The BOC says the policy rate at 2.25% could remain close to that level so long as its forecast proves prescient. However, it adds that a rate hike may be necessary if the war in Iran continues and energy prices stay elevated. Conversely, it said a rate cut could be required should U.S.-Canada trade talks fail and President Trump imposes new trade restrictions on Canada-made goods. (paul.vieira@wsj.com, @paulvieira)
