BENGALURU - The Bank of Canada is done raising interest rates until at least the end of next year, with a serious risk of a cut by then as policymakers become more wary of slowing growth and global trade tensions, a Reuters poll showed on Friday.
All 40 economists in the latest poll taken May 21-23 said Governor Stephen Poloz and fellow policymakers would hold rates at 1.75% at the May 29 meeting. “If growth fails to show any convincing signs of a rebound in 2H19, we think the risks of rate cuts will increase, and given our sluggish outlook, we place a subjective 40% probability that the BoC will deliver at least one 25 basis point rate cut over the next 12 months.”
But there are still some forecasters who expect the BoC to raise rates again. Out of the 30 contributors who provided an end-2020 view, 11 forecast a hike by the end of next year, including four respondents who expect two.
