“The Bank of Canada delivered another reminder to U.S. investors Wednesday that pressing ‘pause’ on interest rate hikes doesn’t necessarily mean the monetary tightening cycle is over.” The central bank “surprised traders” by lifting rates a quarter percentage point after a four-month pause. The move came just after the “Reserve Bank of Australia on Tuesday delivered a second straight rate hike after having ended a short pause of its own.”
