End of testing 🧪 — The Bank of Canada may get more aggressive on internet rates. The US is ending COVID testing for travellers. And Spotify is moving into audiobooks.

BoC Governor Tiff Macklem now says rates may need to move above 3% to tame inflation, putting a rarely seen 0.75% hike on the table for the Bank’s next meeting in July. The United States may have finally dropped its COVID testing requirements for international travellers, but a combo of flight cancellations, airport backlogs, and labour disputes around the world are likely to make summer travel more painful than usual. In its never-ending quest to be the home of all things people use their ears to consume, Spotify is now making a push into the audiobooks space. The Peak Daily is produced by 306 Media Productions.
