What happened
Tiff Macklem participated in an IMF panel in Bangkok on October 15, 2026. During the meeting, the policy rate was noted as 2.25%. Macklem discussed how energy-driven inflation, job losses, and tariff headlines influence the Bank of Canada's monetary policy.

Why it matters
The discussion highlights that while heavy September job losses led markets to trim October rate hike expectations, energy-driven inflation keeps December hikes a possibility. A hawkish signal from Macklem could affect the Canadian dollar and short-dated Canada yields.
