đ˘ As Expected: The Bank of Canada Holds Its Policy Rate at 2.25%
âď¸Why?
⢠Inflation remains near 3%, largely due to higher energy prices.
⢠Canada's economy is growing slowly.
⢠Trade and geopolitical uncertainty remain elevated.
⢠The Bank wants more data before deciding its next move.
âď¸What This Means for Borrowers
⢠No immediate change for most variable-rate mortgage and line of credit borrowers.
⢠Fixed mortgage rates are influenced primarily by Government of Canada bond yields and can move independently of Bank of Canada rate decisions.
âď¸Bottom Line:
The Bank of Canada is balancing inflation risks against a slowing economy and has chosen to wait for more evidence before changing rates.
