The closely balanced 51% market-implied odds for a Bank of Canada rate hike in 2026 reflect the central bank's June 10 decision to hold the policy rate steady at 2.25% amid competing pressures from elevated energy-driven inflation and subdued growth. Headline CPI rose to 2.8% in April, pushed by oil prices roughly $10 above prior assumptions and Middle East supply risks, while core measures eased near the 2% target and the share of components above 3% normalized. Weak Q1 GDP, persistent U.S. tariff uncertainty, and excess labor market capacity continue to anchor expectations for a hold through year-end, though the BoC has signaled readiness for consecutive hikes if energy shocks feed into broader price pressures. The July 15 announcement and accompanying Monetary Policy Report, alongside the June 22 CPI release, represent key near-term catalysts that could shift the rate path.
