Bank of Canada Faces Rate Hike Prospect on June 9 Despite Weak GDP Growth

According to Joe Brusuelas, RSM's chief economist, Canada's central bank faces a potential rate hike prospect despite economic weakness. Energy price increases could push Canada's inflation rate above the 3% threshold, while GDP has contracted for two consecutive quarters with three quarters of decline in the past year. The central bank is expected to announce its rate decision on Wednesday, with Governor Macklem to hold a press conference following the decision to address the challenging policy outlook.
