How this market settles
What could still go wrong
- The question contains a Unicode whitespace character (ㅤ) after '1' which may be a formatting artifact and could cause ambiguity about whether the threshold is '1' cut or some other value
- No specific official source for Bank of Canada rate decisions is cited for resolution
- It is unclear whether a 50bp single-meeting cut counts as 2 cuts or 1 cut — the description implies 50bp = 2 cuts regardless of whether done in one or two meetings
- Timezone of 'in 2026' is not specified — unclear if this means Bank of Canada announcement dates in ET or UTC
- No clarification on what counts as a 'cut' if the Bank of Canada moves to a non-25bp increment system
