Key passages

The Bank of Canada today maintained its target for the overnight rate at 2.75%, with the Bank Rate at 3% and the deposit rate at 2.70%.

Rate hold as expected; no change in policy stance.

The labour market has weakened, particularly in trade-intensive sectors, and unemployment has risen to 6.9%.

Higher unemployment signals economic slack, supporting a hold or cut bias.
