The Bank of Canada cut interest rates for the second consecutive time. Meanwhile, global equities have been weaker

One notable development was the Canadian inflation report for May, which was higher than expected for the first time this year.

Investor attention has turned to Canada over the past few weeks due to a slew of economic releases and earnings reports from Canadian banks.
