The Bank of Canada's preferred measures of core inflation also eased — a happy sign for the central bank, which will make its next interest rate decision on June 5.

Many economists expect that the bank will start cutting rates at that meeting!

The Bank of Canada is widely expected to leave its overnight target rate unchanged at 5.00%, where it’s been since July 2023, though expectations are rising that interest rate cuts are mere months away. With rate cuts on the horizon, that will likely result in more people looking to buy a house. Are you looking to buy in 2024? Let's connect and see how much you can afford!

With the U.S. pausing their fed interest rate hikes, it's good news for Canadian interest rates! If the Bank of Canada delivers on expectations and hikes rates in back-to-back decisions while the U.S. Fed moves off to the sidelines, Benjamin Reitzes (BMO Managing Director and Micro Strategist) says the differential between those two rates will be good news for the loonie — and by extension, Canada’s inflation fight. Those who are on variable rate mortgages will be happier!
