Trader consensus on Polymarket assigns 100% implied probability to no change in the Bank of Canada's policy rate at its March 12 meeting, driven by sticky core inflation and resilient economic indicators that reduce urgency for further easing. Headline CPI eased to 1.9% in December 2024, but core measures hovered above 2.5%, while unemployment held steady at 6.6% and wage growth exceeded 4%, signaling persistent price pressures amid a soft landing. Recent 75 basis points of cuts since June have calibrated policy without overheating, aligning with Governor Macklem's cautious rhetoric. Challenges include a sharper-than-expected GDP slowdown or sub-2% core inflation print, potentially shifting odds toward a 25 bps cut if growth falters.
