Bank of Canada Maintains Rate at 2.25% on Wednesday, Vows to Prevent Energy Price Spike from Fueling Persistent Inflation

According to Kitco News, the Bank of Canada maintained its key overnight rate at 2.25% on Wednesday, June 11, with the bank rate at 2.50% and deposit rate at 2.20%. The BoC cited weak economic activity, persistent U.S. trade policy uncertainty, and elevated oil prices linked to ongoing Middle East conflict, but reiterated its commitment to prevent higher energy prices from becoming persistent inflation. The central bank noted Canadian GDP fell 0.1% in Q1, employment showed limited growth, and the unemployment rate stood at 6.6% in May, though it expects growth to resume in Q2.
