Deep Tide TechFlow news. April 6—According to Jintou Data, Bank of America Securities believes that the market currently expects the Bank of Canada to raise its policy interest rate by nearly half a percentage point this year. However, this shift reflects the oil-related risk premium and tightening of the global financial environment, rather than any change in Canada’s domestic macroeconomic fundamentals. The firm said that the threshold for 2026 rate hikes is high, and its baseline forecast assumes that despite rising oil prices, interest rates will remain unchanged. Bank of America said that the central bank will not take action unless it sees sustained and significant shocks that cause the inflation rate to rise to above 3% within a few months, and/or Fed rate hikes that lead to a substantial tightening of the global financial environment.
