However, RBC does not expect the same outcome -- the target rate remaining on hold for now. Growth looks to be falling a little short of target; Q1 GDP growth now looks to be 1 pp below the most recent forecast of 2.5% (just like Q4 2017 growth of 1.7% fell shy of their 2.5% estimate at that time). In contrast, inflation appears to be on an accelerating path -- once again as in January. At that time, the most recent core reading (an average of the Bank's three preferred measures) stood at 1.8% and has since moved up to 2.0%, while wages have also edged higher. Average hourly earnings for permanent workers has moved to 3.1% y/y from 2.9% at the end of 2017 as Ontario's 21% hike in the minimum wage took effect at the turn of this year. The broader wage measure the Bank introduced in January has inched up to 2.4% in Q1 by RBC's own estimates, from an initial 2.2% in Q4 2017.
