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 pressuresālike rising oil prices, ongoing trade uncertainty, and a slowing economyāare keeping things in a wait-and-see phase. Growth is still soft, the job market is gradually easing, and housing activity hasnāt fully picked up yet.
This hold brings some short-term stability, but the road ahead isnāt fixedāthere are risks on both sides.
If youāre buying, renewing, or refinancing, this is where planning matters most.
Not just reacting to todayās rates, but preparing for whatās next.
DM me to build a strategy based on whatās coming, not just where rates are today.
If you want to go over your options, letās connect.
