Markets now giving slightly better odds for 50 basis point cut in October

The U.S. also released inflation data simultaneously that showed easing price pressures in the world’s largest economy, boosting the chances of an outsized interest rate cut at the Federal Reserve’s November meeting. That’s also providing the Bank of Canada with the room to cut its policy rate further without heightened risks of weakening the Canadian currency.
