Canada experienced a significant job deficit in September, losing 68,300 positions, marking the second consecutive monthly decline. This downturn is attributed to escalating trade disputes with the United States and persistently high oil prices. The Bank of Canada is expected to maintain its current policy rate due to this weak labor market data. However, a potential rate hike in December looms if oil prices remain elevated and inflation broadens. Job losses were concentrated in the public sector, particularly education and healthcare, with manufacturing also significantly impacted by new tariffs.
