The Bank of Canada has cut its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points. Sitting now at 2.75%, this is the lowest policy rate since 2022. B.O.C. Governor Tiff Macklem told reporters that while Canada’s economy finished 2024 on solid footing, it is now facing a new challenge due to the trade war with the US. What does this decision mean for fixed income and credit markets? Joining the show today for their reaction to the latest Bank of Canada rate decision, and what it may mean for Canadian investors, are Portfolio Managers Sri Tella and Lee Ormiston.
