    I would just like to know how raising rates helps reduce inflation?

    Those costs are all downloaded to consumer's price that they pay for everything making it more expensive to live.

    Have they looked up the word inflation?

    And if wages don't keep up, life is more unaffordable.

    Macklem should not be fired , he should resign. He is supposed to look forward and prevent this.

    He called a 2 percent increase in rates " hypothetical " in front of a finance committee not that long ago.

    He was either lying or incompetent.

      China’s 2nd quarter GDP came in down 2.6 percent. That is likely a light contraction number compared to reality. Global commodity fallout is a reflection of China’s economy. All industrial metals under heavy selling. Now a real estate mortgage bust in China.

      U.S. inflation came in higher-than-expected @ 9.1 percent, but it’s wrong. CPI is a lag indicator. The horse is a long ways out-of-the-corral before government realizes it. Fallout in commodities is the lead indicator.

      In the meantime both central banks and the IMF say inflation may begin to cool in 2023 as their inflation fighting policies kick-in. Guess they all attend the same parties.

            Recent CPI data just released isn’t even relevant. Inflation likely peaked late April. Central bankers utterly lost . . . .

              You should use the proper term, errol. It's "holy shit".

              Of course, I'd say the whole market is full of it.

                How does raising rates stop inflation? The idea of raising rates to combat inflation is exactly to drive the cost of everything higher!

                This impacts mortgages, loans right away or when renewal time comes and then the eventual rise in costs is passed down to all goods. When people can’t afford gas, food and the mortgage/car/toy payments, they stop spending.

                When the high prices of goods and the money wasted on interest payments means that everybody is broke and stops spending, prices of goods theoretically should go down.

                  Calgary Herald today: RBC says Canadian housing market is in for a historic correction. Hmmmand who may I ask has been party to pumping up these housing prices? I don’t suppose RBC walked away from any of that lending business.

                    Fill me in by, “metal prices have collapsed”. Do you think that will be reflected in the price of steel buildings?
