• Implied BOC meeting cut pricing is little changed this week so far, with October's pointing to around 55-60% implied probability of a follow-up 25bp rate cut (~14bp, depending on your CORRA assumptions), and a 25bp cut fully priced cumulatively by January. There's still only one full cut still seen for the cycle, though.
• Indeed, pricing hasn't changed much since last week's post-meeting press conference, in which Macklem entertained questions about what would trigger a further cut. The overall communications highlighted risks to growth and employment alongside what the BOC sees as better-contained inflationary pressures than had been feared in the summer. MNI's review of the meeting is here
• He continually mentioned the need for a balanced approach to future rate-setting, moving meeting-by- meeting and keeping the next decision in October live. This was summed up by his comment: “what we can do is help the economy adjust while maintaining wellcontrolled inflation. That's what we're focused on... it's going to be about balancing those risks. If the risks tilt, if the risks shift, we're prepared to take action, and if the risks tilt further, we're prepared to take more action, but we're going to take it one meeting at a time. We are taking a shorter horizon. We're being a little less forward looking than usual, and we'll make that risk assessment in October when we get there."
