TORONTO - Canada's main stock index is set to edge higher in 2024 and then notch a record high next year as the expected start of interest rate cuts by central banks bolsters the high-dividend paying stocks that make up much of the market, a Reuters poll found.
The Canadian economy could particularly benefit from lower interest rates after households borrowed heavily during the COVID-19 pandemic. Economists in a separate Reuters poll expected the Bank of Canada to begin cutting rates from a 22-year high of 5.00% in June or later and to reduce borrowing costs by 100 basis points in total by the end of 2024.
