Many infatuationary pressures have eased. I could write a bunch of things here, but you'd get a better look if you googled on why the bank of canada has eased off a bit on rate increases.

Of course, the future is an unknown, but inflation is about half what it was a year ago.

Heck, there has been some talk of deflation! A lot of stuff peaked due to supply, and those prices could drop dramatically.

I speculate that we will be seeing more hikes. But I have been wrong before :)

That's why I said "mostly peaked". But rather than large jumps every announcement, I suspect we'll skip some, and only have small, quarter point corrections. Maybe one in October, and in the spring.

This indicates a soft landing, but I agree, we'll see. Anything could happen.
