Recent Bank of Canada projections place 2026 CPI inflation at 2.5%, up from prior estimates, after headline rates climbed above 3% in mid-2026 on elevated oil prices tied to Middle East supply disruptions before easing to 2.8% year-over-year in June. Subdued economic growth, persistent excess supply, and moderating core measures—median and trimmed-mean CPI near 1.9%—are offsetting energy-driven pressures and supporting the market's heaviest weighting on the 2.5–2.9% band. With the policy rate steady at 2.25% and population trends easing housing demand, trader-implied odds reflect expectations that inflation will converge toward the 2% target by late 2027 absent renewed commodity spikes or tariff pass-through. The July CPI release due August 17 remains a key near-term catalyst.
