Persistently elevated inflation is increasing the risk that longer-run inflation expectations could drift upwards,” the statement said. “The Bank will use its monetary policy tools to return inflation to the 2% target and keep inflation expectations well-anchored.” However, no details were offered about the BoC''s plan to wind-down its bond holdings. In a likely taste of what is to come from Powell and his pals at The Fed, BoC added the following to their statement: “The unprovoked invasion of Ukraine by Russia is a major new source of uncertainty." Specifically on Ukraine, BoC notes: “Prices for oil and other commodities have risen sharply.
