Fed lifts 2026 PCE inflation view to 3.6% and terminal rate to 3.8%, pressuring TSX
The Federal Reserve raised its 2026 PCE inflation forecast to 3.6% and lifted its projected terminal rate to 3.8%, signalling a more hawkish and cautious policy stance. The shift dampened expectations for interest-rate cuts later this year and sparked a broad selloff in global risk assets. The TSX fell 0.7%, led lower by precious-metals and industrial shares, while gold and silver weakened and oil extended its decline.
