MNI BoC Preview, Jul'23: A Second Hike Before Assessing

Source: Bank of Canada

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

  • The BoC is widely, but not unanimously, expected to hike 25bp for the second meeting after coming off the sidelines five weeks ago. 17 of 23 analysts expect such a move, OIS suggests 19bps is priced.
  • A hike should see a hawkish initial reaction but a pivot to possibly more neutral language after recent data were more nuanced and open-ended guidance could see the edge taken off this move.
  • Along with consensus, we also expect the 25bp hike to 5% to then assess data over an almost two-month period, but as always with the BoC see non-trivial risk of a surprise, this time from a hawkish hold.
