Rationale

With inflation at 2.5%, slightly above the 2% target, the Bank of Canada is likely to hold rates steady to ensure price stability before considering cuts. Maintaining the current rate prevents premature stimulus that could reignite inflation, while avoiding a hawkish hike that would unnecessarily suppress consumer spending and business investment.
