Quick Summary

Statistics Canada is releasing September's inflation figures today, with economists expecting the rate to rise to 3.2% from 3% in August. High energy prices are cited as a significant factor driving up inflation, and analysts will examine if cost pressures are spreading beyond just fuel costs. The report precedes the Bank of Canada’s October 28 interest rate decision, which could be influenced by signs of broader inflationary trends.

Statistics Canada released the September inflation figures on October 19, 2026, showing an acceleration to 3.2%, up from 3% in August. Economists polled by Reuters expect persistently high energy prices to be driving this increase. The Bank of Canada will release its own quarterly surveys later that morning, which could indicate whether businesses plan to pass on higher supply chain costs to consumers. This report precedes the central bank's next interest rate decision on October 28. The Bank of Canada has indicated it will monitor for broader inflation impacts beyond energy prices before considering further policy adjustments.
