> The Bank of Canada kept its key interest rate at 2.25% on Wednesday as it weighs rising inflation risks against renewed uncertainty from the Canada-U.S. trade war. Governor Tiff Macklem warned that new U.S. tariffs could undermine the durability of Canada’s economic recovery, even as businesses and workers adjust to the disruption.
