Gate News reports that on March 17, U.S. bank economist Carlos Capristani stated that the Bank of Canada will keep interest rates unchanged for the remainder of 2026, but he also acknowledged that due to energy price fluctuations, there is a risk of “rate hikes or multiple rate hikes” in the coming months. He expects the Bank of Canada governor to emphasize the economic uncertainties caused by the Middle East conflict and to discuss the potential impacts of rising oil prices. He predicts that the Bank of Canada may hint that the timing of its next move is uncertain, but will not specify the possible direction. Traders have already factored in the possibility of at least one rate hike by the end of 2026.
