Bank of Canada to make interest rate decision, expected to hold steady

The central bank is widely expected to hold its policy rate at 1.75 per cent, where it's been set for just over a year. Markets, however, will be focused on what could happen in the coming months -- and they will study governor Stephen Poloz's take on the state of the Canadian and global economies
