Rate increase expected in coming months

This news release was from yesterday.
To summarize the Bank of Canada kept it's benchmark interest rate at the record low and gave guidance suggesting that inflation and economic indicators signal rate increases in the coming months. Economists expect a 0.50% rate hike in the third quarter and possibly another 0.50% hike by the end of the year.
