The market is now betting that the Bank of Canada will raise interest rates before October 2026—yes, you read that right, raise rates. Just a few months ago, everyone was still discussing when they would start cutting rates.
The turning point came abruptly: the November employment data was explosive. The unemployment rate dropped sharply, and new jobs far exceeded analysts’ expectations. With such a hot economy, inflationary pressure naturally followed. The central bank is probably having a headache; the window for rate cuts has basically closed, and raising rates is back on the agenda.
The bond market has already started to react. Government bonds are being heavily sold off, yields are surging, and tightening expectations are back.
This is actually quite interesting. While everyone is watching for when the Fed will inject liquidity, their northern neighbor might do the opposite. It highlights a simple truth: central banks won’t just follow each other step by step; their own economic data is the basis for decision-making. If employment is strong enough, even if the whole world is easing, tightening is still necessary.
If Canada really takes this step, it will definitely disrupt global capital flows. At the very least, the single-threaded narrative that “unlimited liquidity is coming soon” is now in question. Once liquidity expectations diverge, asset pricing logic will change accordingly.
Do you think this is a special case for one country, or will more central banks follow this independent path? Share your thoughts in the comments.

This unexpected move by Canada is really surprising. As soon as the employment data exploded, the central bank immediately changed its tone...

Canada suddenly plans to raise interest rates? This is interesting—one corner of the global easing dream has just been shattered.

Canada's move in the opposite direction is really something else. While the whole world is waiting for a liquidity injection, they're tightening instead. This logic is truly wild.

Damn, is Canada going to raise interest rates? This script is a bit unusual—while the whole world is waiting for the Fed to loosen up, the northern neighbor is doing the opposite...

Canada’s move in the opposite direction is pretty impressive. Everyone thought central banks around the world would ease monetary policy together, but with such strong employment data, they made a U-turn and raised interest rates instead. It really calls for recalculating the situation.

The Bank of Canada’s reverse actions have indeed disrupted the rhythm. As soon as employment data surged, inflationary pressures immediately emerged, which makes perfect sense logically. The question is whether this kind of divergence will break liquidity expectations—if that happens, the crypto side will have to reprice again.
