Canada’s inflation rate eases more than expected in June to 2.7%, raising bets of July rate cut

Canada’s annual inflation rate cooled more than expected to 2.7% in June, largely due to softer growth in gas prices, while core inflation measures were marginally down, Statistics Canada said Tuesday in a report.

Financial analysts were expecting an inflation rate of 2.8 per cent.

All eyes are now on the Bank of Canada, which announces its next policy rate decision on July 24.
