Bank of Canada survey raises odds of 25bps rate hike consideration

A Bank of Canada survey has raised the perceived odds that policymakers will consider a 25 basis point rate hike. Higher rate expectations typically tighten liquidity conditions and weigh on risk assets, including crypto, by raising the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets. The signal is indirect and survey-based rather than an actual policy decision, so its market impact is likely modest unless confirmed by central bank commentary.
