Against the backdrop of escalating US-Canada trade tensions and rising energy prices, markets widely expect the Bank of Canada (BoC) to hold its benchmark interest rate steady at 2.25% this Wednesday, marking the central bank’s seventh consecutive hold. The US has already imposed a 50% tariff on roughly $20 billion worth of Canadian goods, while Canada plans to levy retaliatory tariffs on certain US products starting September 8. Meanwhile, driven by rising oil prices, Canada’s overall inflation rate has climbed to 3%, hitting its highest level since 2023, leaving the BoC facing a stagflation dilemma: tariffs weighing on economic growth while energy costs fuel inflation. While Canada’s annualized second-quarter GDP growth rebounded to 3.3% and over 180,000 jobs were added between May and July, roughly two-thirds of surveyed economists have cut their corporate investment forecasts due to the trade war. Markets now widely anticipate that the BoC’s next rate hike may not come until the first half of 2027.

After rising nearly 10% in August, international spot gold has pulled back sharply, with market expectations for further gains cooling significantly. Polymarket data shows the probability of gold hitting $5,000 per ounce by year-end is just over 50%, the chance of reaching $4,500 is almost certain, while the likelihood of hitting $6,000 has dropped to around 13%; the probability of a short-term return to $4,700 is less than one-third. Affected by the Federal Reserve’s hawkish signals, U.S. Treasury yields, and rising oil prices, spot gold fell more than 2% at one point Tuesday to around $4,350 per ounce, a notable pullback from its previous high of roughly $4,697. After Fed Chair Waller delivered hawkish signals at the Jackson Hole Annual Meeting, market bets on a September rate hike rose to about 66%, and the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note climbed to approximately 4.78%. Meanwhile, Brent crude oil broke above $91 per barrel, further intensifying inflationary pressures. Still, gold’s long-term bullish narrative has not faded: concerns over fiscal deficits, expanding government debt, and the U.S. dollar’s purchasing power continue to underpin gold prices. Citi forecasts gold will rise to $5,000 over the next 6 to 12 months, and has raised its short-term target to $4,800. The market will now turn its focus to U.S. employment and inflation data to gauge whether gold bulls can regain momentum.
