The Bank of Canada's policy rate has remained steady at 2.25% through six consecutive decisions into July 2026, with inflation cooling to 2.8% year-over-year in June amid easing gasoline prices and broader economic activity showing modest improvement despite geopolitical energy pressures. This backdrop underpins the 90.1% market-implied odds of no change at the October 28 meeting, as trader consensus prices in a wait-and-see stance consistent with the central bank's recent communications and projections for inflation converging toward 2% without overheating. A material rebound in headline CPI from persistent Middle East supply shocks or unexpectedly robust GDP growth could still introduce modest hike probabilities, while sharper labor market deterioration might reopen cut considerations.

The resolution source will be official information from the Bank of Canada, including the statement or release from its October 2026 interest rate announcement, scheduled for October 28, 2026, as listed on the official Bank of Canada calendar (https://www.bankofcanada.ca/core-functions/monetary-policy/key-interest-rate/#target-dates). This market may resolve as soon as the statement or release of the Bank of Canada resulting from its October 2026 interest rate decision with relevant data is issued.
If the specified rate is defined by an upper and lower bound, the relevant change will be the change to the upper bound.
If the specified rate is changed to a level not expressed in the displayed options, the change will be rounded according to the following guidelines. Increases or decreases of less than 25 bps will be rounded to 25 bps (e.g. an increase or decrease of 10 bps would be considered to be an increase or decrease of 25 bps). Increases or decreases of greater than 25 bps will be rounded to the nearest 25 bps and will be rounded away from 0 in cases of equidistance (e.g., an increase or decrease of 37.5 bps would be considered to be an increase or decrease of 50 bps). Displayed options of “Increase” or “Decrease” will include policy rate increases or decreases of any size.
If the specified announcement is postponed to a date and time before the start of the next scheduled announcement, this market will resolve based on the outcome of that postponed announcement. If the specified announcement is cancelled, or postponed such that no decision is announced by the start of the next scheduled announcement, this market will resolve to the “No Change” bracket. Emergency changes to the specified rate not resulting from the specified announcement will not be considered.
