The Bank of Canada’s September 2 decision to hold the overnight rate steady at 2.25% for the seventh consecutive meeting has anchored trader expectations for another pause at the October 28 announcement, which will include the quarterly Monetary Policy Report. Recent data show the economy evolving broadly in line with the July outlook: Q2 GDP expanded 3.3% amid resilient consumer spending and housing activity, while core inflation measures remain near the 2% target even as headline CPI hovers around 3% due to elevated energy prices from Middle East tensions. Offsetting this, August employment fell 41,700 and the unemployment rate held at 6.4%, underscoring labor-market slack that limits pass-through from temporary price shocks. Heightened uncertainty from new U.S. tariffs and Canadian countermeasures further tilts the balance toward caution, with market-implied odds reflecting the Bank’s data-dependent stance and limited scope for near-term tightening absent clearer inflation persistence.

This market will resolve according to the change in basis points in the target for the overnight rate resulting from the October 2026 interest rate announcement of the Bank of Canada, relative to the level it was prior to this announcement.
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.
