The Bank of Canada held its overnight rate at 2.25%, with the Bank Rate at 2.5% and deposit rate at 2.20%, continuing its cautious pause.
Inflation is hovering close to the 2% target, but global pressures—like rising oil prices, ongoing trade uncertainty, and a slowing economy—are keeping things in a wait-and-see phase. Growth is still soft, the job market is gradually easing, and housing activity hasn’t fully picked up yet.
This hold brings some short-term stability, but the road ahead isn’t fixed—there are risks on both sides.
If you’re buying, renewing, or refinancing, this is where planning matters most.
Not just reacting to today’s rates, but preparing for what’s next.
DM me to build a strategy based on what’s coming, not just where rates are today.
