- The broad collection of communications from the BoC yesterday made it clear that it remains data dependent.
- The market still attributes sizeable odds of a second 50bp cut in December though, currently seen as a broadly 50/50 call between a 25bp or 50bp cut. This likely embodies a view shared by TD Securities, that it only made sense to cut 50bp this week if the BoC is in a rush towards more neutral policy setting.
- Our review of analysts sees a similar finding, with a rough split between 25bp and 50bp cut calls.
- Analyst terminal rate expectations are all at the bottom of the BoC’s neutral range of 2.25-3.25%, mostly between 2.25-2.5% but RBC stand out with their 2.00% forecast.
