Glonghui, May 9 | The Bank of Canada warned that if interest rate trends do not meet market expectations, the prices of some assets may suddenly reverse.

Markets and economists have lowered their expectations for the Bank of Canada to cut interest rates, partly because people think that the Bank of Canada deviates from the Federal Reserve's policy to a limited extent without causing monetary weakness.
