The Bank of Canada’s April 29 decision to hold its policy rate at 2.25 percent, amid softening labor-market data and offsetting inflation risks, underpins the 96 percent market-implied probability of no change at the June 10 fixed announcement date. April employment fell 18,000 while the unemployment rate climbed to 6.9 percent, and first-quarter GDP growth registered a moderate 1.7 percent pace, reinforcing expectations that domestic slack will keep monetary policy on hold. Counterbalancing these factors are upward pressures on headline CPI, which rose to 2.4 percent year-over-year in March on higher energy costs tied to Middle East developments, with core measures remaining near 2.2 percent. Traders view these balanced risks as favoring continuity rather than an immediate adjustment. The April CPI release scheduled for May 19 represents the key near-term catalyst that could either solidify the hold or reopen slim odds of a modest cut if downside surprises emerge.
