Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
Scotiabank argues the Bank of Canada is already behind the curve and should hike rather than hold, with a forecast path of 100bps of tightening to bring inflation toward 2.5% y/y by end-2027 and 2.25% into 2028. AI-driven inflation is described as just beginning in Canada. Elsewhere: Fed expected to avoid surprises, ECB facing a rising debt shock, BoJ on hold but December in play, RBNZ likely to hike. US Q3 GDP seen at 3% q/q SAAR with wide estimate dispersion; Eurozone under 1%; core PCE at 0.4% m/m flagged as the showstopper.

Key arguments
- The BoC should hike now because holding is the riskier option and it is probably already behind the curve.
- The 100bps tightening forecast may prove light if AI-related price pressures add to inflation.
- Common objections—labour market weakness, trade policy uncertainty—do not justify delay.
- Fiscal policy will add to growth, with the November 5 federal Budget quantifying off-budget measures.
Key numbers
- BoC forecast cumulative tightening
- 100bps
- Inflation target path (end-2027)
- ~2.5% y/y
- Inflation path (2028)
- ~2.25%
- US Q3 GDP estimate
- 3% q/q SAAR
- Core PCE estimate
- 0.4% m/m
Main risks
- Forecast inflation path may understate AI-driven price pressure, implying more hikes.
- A large sustained equity sell-off could alter the picture, though the report sees no such concern yet.
- US auto tariffs on Canada could disrupt integrated supply chains.

The UK budget and a wave of global GDP and inflation figures may also pose significant market risk.
