Recent Middle East conflict-driven surges in oil and gasoline prices have pushed Canada’s headline CPI to 2.4% year-over-year in March 2026, prompting the Bank of Canada to revise its 2026 annual average inflation forecast upward to 2.3% from 2.0% in January. This supply-side shock, partially offset by the temporary federal fuel tax suspension, has elevated trader expectations for the full-year rate to settle in the 2.5–2.9% range as the leading outcome. Core measures remain more contained near 2.3%, supporting the view that the spike will prove transitory provided wage growth and inflation expectations stay anchored. With the next CPI release due shortly and the Bank of Canada maintaining its 2.25% policy rate, markets continue to price in a gradual return toward the 2% target by 2027 absent further geopolitical escalation.
