The Bank of Canada has raised its key interest rate, marking the first hike in three years. This move signals that Canadian inflation remains stickier than in the US, where the Fed is expected to hold. The hike is expected to slow the Canadian housing market further and strengthen the CAD against the USD, potentially impacting cross-border trade flows and energy sector valuations in Canada.
