CANADA
  • Recently at the dovish end of consensus, RBC now also call for a 50bp hike in April, noting Dep Gov Kozicki saying last week that the Bank is prepared to act forcefully whilst downplaying risks to the household sector.
  • They continue to be less hawkish than other recent view changes, which include at least two 50bp hikes in April and June, reverting to a series of 25bp hikes from June onwards until rates hit 2% where they then stay.
