Line chart tracking the Bank of Canada overnight rate target at 2.25% through each fixed announcement date from January 2025 to July 2026, marking five consecutive holds.

This chart tracks the Bank of Canada's overnight rate through each fixed announcement date, showing five straight holds at 2.25% since late October 2025. That stability is now facing pressure from outside Canada's borders: hawkish Federal Reserve minutes and an oil-driven bond selloff tied to Middle East tensions have pushed market odds of a Bank of Canada hike sharply higher within a single trading day. The shift is notable because it arrived while the central bank sits in its pre-decision blackout period, unable to respond publicly before the next scheduled announcement.
