Recent energy price surges from the Middle East conflict have lifted Canada's headline CPI to 2.8% year-over-year in April 2026 from 2.4% in March, with transportation costs rising sharply, though core measures held near 2.1%. The Bank of Canada's April Monetary Policy Report revised its 2026 inflation projection upward by 0.3 percentage points due to gasoline and oil effects, while projecting a return toward the 2% target by 2027 amid sub-trend growth and tariff adjustments. Subdued economic expansion, stable core inflation, and the BoC's hold at neutral policy rates around 2.25% create competing pressures that keep market-implied odds clustered across the 1.5–3.9% ranges, with resolution hinging on whether energy-driven headline gains persist or fade into year-end data releases.
