Bank of Canada Expected to Keep Key Rate Steady This Week — and Maybe All Year Long

  • The Bank of Canada held its policy rate steady at 2.25 percent in December, following two quarter-point cuts in 2025.
  • CIBC forecasts that there will be no changes in interest rates in 2026, indicating stability in financial conditions.
  • Shenfeld noted that serious shocks, such as a sudden stock market downturn, could disrupt the Bank of Canada's rate hold this year.
