Canada Inflation Ticks Up to 2.9% on Higher Gas Prices: Canadian consumer prices reaccelerated slightly as expected due to higher gasoline prices ...
trib.al/VxDKxw2
Quick Glance: Canadian Inflation Rises Due to Increase in Gasoline Prices
- Canadian consumer prices saw a slight increase, primarily due to higher gasoline prices. Core metrics indicated further progress in disinflation, prompting the central bank to prepare for a shift to looser monetary policy as early as June or July.
- In March, the consumer price index rose by 2.9% compared to the previous year, up from the 2.8% reported a month earlier. Excluding gasoline, the index slowed to 2.8% from the previous year, in contrast to February's 2.9%.
- However, indications of underlying price pressures decreased. The averages of the Bank of Canada's two core measures decreased to an annual rate of 2.95%, weaker than anticipated. Following the release, yields on two-year Canadian government bonds dropped by approximately 10 basis points to 4.18%.
- The March inflation data suggest that the decline in core metrics this year is not temporary. Bank of Canada officials are now waiting to be convinced that the path to the 2% target can be sustained before making adjustments to monetary policy.

Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial
- A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.
- The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.
- Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.
- The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.
