π Twas two weeks before Christmas... and the BoC elves worked some magic! β¨ While it wasnβt quite the Christmas miracle we imagined, weβre definitely celebrating the 50bps cut to the Overnight Rate, bringing Prime rate down to 5.45%! π
Good news for anyone with a variable rate mortgage (or thinking of getting one) π
But while the BoCβs messaging for further cuts was a bit more βweβll take it one decision at a time" top economists are still predicting potentially 3 more 25bps reductions before the end of 2025. π€©
Mark your calendars β the first rate announcement for 2025 is on January 29th! π
Leaving enough time for December's CPI data to be released first! π¦
