Economists and markets predicting a 25 basis-point hike in the key overnight lending rate in the bank’s bid to wrestle back inflation

The Bank of Canada announces Wednesday morning whether it’s raising its key overnight lending rate for the eighth straight time as it attempts to battle inflation.

Markets are predicting a 25 basis-point hike. Overnight “swap” trading is predicting a 75 per cent likelihood of a 25 basis-point hike. The overnight rate began last year at 0.25 per cent, where it had been since the Bank dropped it three times in one month in March 2020, as the global COVID-19 pandemic was declared.

Following the 10 a.m. rate announcement, for the first time ever, the Bank will also be releasing minutes of its internal debate on what led to Wednesday’s decision.

Jail the bankers. Tax the ultra rich.

All part of the plan to take your land and you can own nothing and be happy on UBI!! Wake up

What if increased interest rate is shared equally between the lenders and loans borrowers? Don’t you think it could reduce possible home mortgage defaults. What if any increase in interest rate to address inflation does not affect existing home mortgages? Financial discipline!

Bring it on!!!!
