CITIGROUP economist Veronica Clark says September headline and core CPI undershot expectations, making a near-term BOC rate hike hard to justify and undermining the bank’s data-driven policy stance.

Clark expects demand weakness amid excess supply to keep price pressures subdued and forecasts policy rates will remain on hold for the rest of the year.
