## Resource

The Bank of Canada is poised to hold rates steady for the fifth straight time, despite global uncertainty and mixed economic signals. With oil prices rattled by geopolitical tensions and inflation showing signs of cooling — especially core inflation — Governor Tiff Macklem’s cautious language may be more telling than any rate move. Recent data reveals a slowing economy, even a technical recession, but a surprising jobs report and falling unemployment offer some relief. The Bank’s hands-off approach reflects a foggy outlook: no clear reason to raise rates now, and no rush to cut them either — at least not until the fog clears.
