Yesterday, the regulator decided to raise the interest rate by 50.0 basis points, not by 75 points, as most experts predicted, bringing it to 3.75% from 3.25% earlier. In an accompanying statement, officials noted that they expect the country's gross domestic product (GDP) to seriously slowdown from 3.25% to less than 1.00% by early 2023 due to inflation, which, although it fell from 8.1% in the last quarter to 6.9% the basis of this weakening was fuel prices, which fell on the world market. Core inflation, a more accurate indicator of consumer prices, has not eased, and the Bank of Canada expects negative dynamics only in the second half of 2023.
On the daily chart of the asset, the price is trying to consolidate in a downward corrective trend.
