The Bank of Canada has lowered its policy rate by 25 basis points—its first change since July and the lowest level since September 2022. With a softer economy and easing inflation pressures, this move is expected to prompt most major lenders to drop their prime rates to 4.70%. This is good news for anyone with a variable rate mortgage or Home Equity Line of Credit. The next Bank of Canada meeting is October 29th.
