I believe it is priced in ... might not be the last one ... no need to panic before we get hit by 1% rate hike , then we can worry ... GLTA

The Bank of Canada raised its overnight lending rate by 25 basis points to 0.50 per cent on Wednesday, marking the first time the central bank has tightened monetary policy since 2018, while highlighting how Russia's attack on Ukraine could weigh on global growth and lift commodity prices further.

The overnight rate is the only rate I pay attention to. This is the deciding factor on whether the economy is healthy or not. Something is up? If this rate keeps increasing at each rate hike?

it looks like this rate will continue to go up if my memory did not fail me usa hinted to increase rate 3 times during 2022 by about of 0.25 point each time and i think Canada will do the same so we can expect at least 2 more rate hike of about 0.25 point each time during 2022 to reach 1% by 2022 end

Yes - rates are expected to keep going up over the next 2-3 years. I think the market has already priced all that in. The debate over the first hike was whether it would be 0.25 or 0.5. It came in at 0.25. Markets should react positively after the feds confirm the same approach.
