The Bank of Canada kept its rate unchanged yesterday morning. Their wording speaks to overall economic growth, inflation issues as well as the overall global situation. It is a cautious forecast which certainly reflects what is happening out on the street. We are all aware of the higher costs of filling up our cars and the increases to our grocery bill. These increases will gradually be reflected in a higher rate of  core inflation. This forecast is in line with what we expected. At this time, rates staying the same and a guarded view on future increases.
