Rationale

The recent BOC announcement suggests a pivot toward easing as inflation stabilizes near the 2% target. Reducing the policy rate by 75 basis points lowers borrowing costs for households and firms, directly addressing the recently flagged need to boost business investment and support consumer spending without reigniting inflation.
