Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
Scotiabank's weekly preview argues Canadian core inflation remains at or above the BoC's 2% target, with traditional core running near 3% m/m SAAR for four straight months and another firm print expected, supporting the view that policy is too loose. BoC surveys may show higher inflation expectations. Elsewhere: global PMIs will test Q3 growth momentum, UK data precede a possible November BoE hike, and New Zealand CPI could embolden RBNZ hike pricing.

Key arguments
- Canadian inflation data should give the BoC all the evidence it needs, with all inflation measures at or above the 2% target and traditional core near 3% m/m SAAR for four consecutive months.
- The BoC's business surveys may follow fresher, higher-frequency inflation expectation measures such as the CFIB small business gauge that have moved higher.
- October global PMIs will offer the first read on whether strong Q3 global growth momentum extends into Q4, with focus on input costs, pricing power and supply chain bottlenecks.
- Pre-BoE UK data will be scrutinized for second-round effects on wages and prices, after markets priced a 25 bp November hike on persistent elevated energy prices.
Key numbers
- Traditional Canadian core inflation (recent months)
- 3% m/m SAAR or higher for four consecutive months
- BoC inflation target
- 2%
- UK unemployment rate (projected)
- 5%
- UK headline inflation (September, expected)
- 3.4%
- UK services inflation (expected)
- 3.6%
Main risks
- Inflation may prove stickier than expected, keeping the BoC's policy rate at the lower bound of the neutral range despite above-target inflation.
- A weak Q4 global PMI reading could undermine the strong Q3 growth momentum supported by AI-related demand.
- UK data may not show second-round effects, which could alter market pricing for the November BoE hike.
