Bank of Canada head Macklem warns consecutive rate hikes possible if oil prices stay high
The desk interprets Governor Tiff Macklem's recent comments as a significant shift towards a more hawkish stance for the Bank of Canada, particularly in light of rising oil prices potentially driving broader inflation. Per the full note [source], Macklem indicated that sustained high oil prices could necessitate consecutive interest rate hikes, a marked change from the previous easing bias. Current CPI inflation has risen to 2.4%, with projections suggesting a peak of around 3% in April, reinforcing the urgency of the central bank's monitoring of inflationary pressures. This shift aligns with our consensus target of 1.075 for CAD/USD, reflecting a cautious yet vigilant approach to monetary policy amidst global uncertainties.
