Bank of Canada Hikes Rate Citing Market Pressures
The Bank of Canada raised its policy rate from 3.4 percent to 4 percent amid uncertainty and upward pressure in Canadian securities markets. Governor Louis Rasminsky stated the move is a technical adjustment, not a fundamental policy shift, aiming to preserve credit access and Canada’s international payments position. The action follows a downtrend since 1962 and coincides with Kennedy’s proposed taxes on U.S. holdings.
