BoC expected to cut key lending rate today

The Bank of Canada is set to announce its interest rate decision today, where it's widely expected to lower its key lending rate.

A quarter-point cut would bring the central bank's benchmark rate down to 2.5 per cent after three consecutive holds at 2.75 per cent.

The bank received a last-minute look at the latest inflation data when Statistics Canada reported its consumer price index for August yesterday.

The report showed consumer prices rose 1.9 per cent in August year-over-year, up from 1.7 per cent in July, though it was a tick below economists' expectations.
