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 pressuresâlike rising oil prices, ongoing trade uncertainty, and a slowing economyâare keeping things in a wait-and-see phase. Growth is still soft, the job market is gradually easing, and housing activity hasnât fully picked up yet.
This hold brings some short-term stability, but the road ahead isnât fixedâthere are risks on both sides.
If youâre buying, renewing, or refinancing, this is where planning matters most.
Not just reacting to todayâs rates, but preparing for whatâs next.
DM me to build a strategy based on whatâs coming, not just where rates are today.
