Polymarket traders show a razor-thin split on Canada’s 2026 annual CPI inflation, with the 2.5–2.9% bin leading at 49% implied probability ahead of 1.5–1.9% at 42.6%, highlighting contested dynamics between recent upside risks and cooling expectations. March 2026 CPI accelerated to 2.4% year-over-year from February’s 1.8%, driven by gasoline prices surging 21% amid crude oil spikes from geopolitical tensions and looming US tariffs pressuring growth. Countering this, the Bank of Canada’s April Monetary Policy Report projects 2026 average inflation at 2.3%—within the 1–3% control range—while holding the policy rate steady at 2.25%. Differentiating catalysts include upcoming April CPI (due mid-May), the June 10 BoC decision, core inflation trends, and tariff escalation effects.
