The Bank of Canada has kept interest rates unchanged at 2.25% as policymakers weigh the impact of higher energy costs on inflation and economic growth. Robert Both, Senior Macro Strategist at TD Securities, discusses the outlook for rates and the broader implications for the economy. Transcript Anthony Okolie: As widely expected, the Bank of Canada held its key rate unchanged at 2.25% for the fourth straight meeting. Joining me now to break down the latest decision is Robert Both of TD Securities. And Robert, what's your reaction to the decisions? Any surprises for you? Robert Both: There were a few surprises. The decision itself and all the communication was a little bit more dovish than we and, I think, than the market had expected. The bank did repeat that it looked through the immediate impacts on inflation from higher oil prices. That wasn't a surprise. It would have come off as a little bit panicked if the Bank of Canada had walked back that messaging. What was a little bit more surprising was the Bank of Canada discussing the potential for rate cuts, a little bit more focus on the domestic weakness in the economy, and that trade uncertainty which was also in their March statement. So by shining a bigger light on those more dovish factors, the bank is sort of pushing back, implicitly, against the market pricing for rate hikes later this year. So this is really just a continuation of the patient approach we saw last meeting, but again, with a few tweaks that do push the statement in a more dovish direction. Anthony Okolie: OK. I want to go to the statement, because in the statement they mentioned the Iran war uncertainty, energy-driven inflation. But they said long-term inflation expectations are still anchored. So if inflation stays higher for longer, what's

Jews in Britain are facing a wave of hate spread by hostile states, and some homegrown. We can only tackle it by working together Another week, another attack on British Jews ; and rather than synagogues being petrol-bombed in the middle of the night, now it is ordinary Jews being stabbed in broad daylight. It’s been described as this country’s biggest national security emergency for almost a decade by the UK’s terrorism watchdog. Finding a solution will mean some hard questions, not just for government and police but for wider society too. The immediate move is, of course, more policing and more funding for security. The first job of government is to protect its people, and this should be done without question. Prosecutions should be expedited through the courts, as they were with the riots that followed the Southport attack. But physical protection is, in a way, the easy part.

U.S. President Donald Trump exits Air Force One as he arrives at Miami International Airport in Florida, U.S., April 11, 2026. Kevin Lamarque | Reuters President Donald Trump on Thursday is set to receive a briefing from U.S. Central Commander Adm. Brad Cooper and other military leaders on potential strikes in Iran, Axios and Reuters reported overnight. The reported briefing comes on the eve of a key deadline in the war: a 60-day legal timer requiring Trump to withdraw U.S. armed forces unless Congress authorizes the military action, which it has not done. It also comes as a testy ceasefire has so far failed to lead to a peace deal between Washington and Tehran. They have instead each focused on inflicting economic pain via the Strait of Hormuz, a vital route for the global oil trade, trying to bring the other to heel. But their efforts — Iran's de facto stoppage of ship traffic through the strait, and the U.S.' retaliatory naval blockade of Iranian ports — have resulted in a deadlock. CENTCOM has prepared a plan for a "short and powerful" wave of strikes intended to break the logjam and force Iran to be more flexible with its demands, Axios reported Wednesday. Other options being discussed include a special forces operation to secure Iran's supply of highly enriched uranium or taking actions to gain more U.S. control over the strait, according to Axios. The White House did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment on the reported briefing. CENTCOM declined to comment.
