Markets are pricing in three Bank of Canada rate hikes by year-end & yields on the two-year government bond are up 20 basis points. It's a major shift from Wednesday, when the BoC held rates and said it would look through the near-term oil shock

Just a quick note to say: this was my last day at @globalnews after five really great years. It's been quite a run from the onset of the pandemic to taking on the finance beat at the very start of the Bank of Canada's rate-hike cycle. Thank you for following along.
Thank you as well to everyone at Global News who have given me such support and helped me flourish on this beat. There are simply too many to name in a tweet. But I love the team of incredible journalists at Global who do so much with, too often, so little.
Next week, I'll start a new role as the economics reporter and editor at the @CdnPressNews in Ottawa. Excited to keep breaking down the stories shaping our economy for Canadians.
I'm sure there's something I can find to write about.
