The Bank of Canada can’t take its foot off the gas just yet, but a new report from Desjardins Securities Inc. said the central bank could start leaving “breadcrumbs” to hint at a possible easing in future interest rate hikes.

But, after seeing the Fed pull off a three-quarter point rate increase without much fallout, the Bank of Canada is primed to follow suit,” he said.earlier this month found consumers and businesses expect inflation to run hot for longer than what the central bank anticipated.
