The Bank of Canada has decided to hold interest rates steady again.
The overnight rate remains at 2.25%, which in central-bank language means: “We’re comfortable… for now.”
Inflation is hovering near the 2% target, growth is modest, and the economy is doing that very Canadian thing where it politely refuses to boom or bust. The Bank says the current rate is “appropriate,” which roughly translates to: “Let’s see what Ottawa does next.”
With federal spending still running enthusiastically and productivity still taking a coffee break, the Bank is firmly in wait-and-see mode.
Variable rates: No change. Prime stays put.
Fixed rates: Still driven more by bond markets than by political speeches.
Planning: Stability is nice. Certainty is better. Strategy is best.
If you’d like to review your mortgage and make sure you’re positioned properly — whether rates move, stall, or Ottawa discovers another spending program — I’m happy to help.
