Bank of Canada Half-Point Cut Would Be Too Much, TD Chief Economist Says -- Market Talk

Dow Jones00:58

1257 ET - Toronto-Dominion Bank chief economist Beata Caranci defends her call for a quarter-point Bank of Canada rate cut this week, even though the consensus has converged on a jumbo-sized half-point cut. Caranci says economic growth is soft but there is no sign of an imminent recession. Private-sector hiring has picked up since BOC started cutting rates in June, she says, adding wage growth remains above 4% and the savings rate has climbed 2.3 percentage points higher from a year ago. "There's no fire to douse by accelerating rate cuts," she says. Caranci says the BOC must also guard against creating a psychological that every economic hiccup requires a hefty rate-policy response, and the risk of adding too much stimulus to recharge housing-market activity.
