Chance of further interest-rate cuts this year is slim, says bond market

Do not expect the Bank of Canada to reduce interest if it meets next week.

The fixed rates are on the up-to-roll staircase, with most lenders in the past two weeks of three, four and/or five years of permanent interest rates. No need for oxygen masks yet

We only talk about an average jump of 10 basis points.

We can focus on increasing bond yields. You have significantly increased the fixed-rate financing costs of the lenders this month. The usual suspects do everything: inflation concerns in connection with tariffs, uncertain risk premiums, Ottawa and Washington fiscal ruthlessness and an economy that refuses to play dead.

Despite the interest war for longer conditions, some bargains appear on the leading mortgages with one and two years. These fell by 25 and 15 basis points last week.

For those who fantasize about a lower Prime rate, reality is more brick wall than DayDream. For the first time in months, the bond market in 2025 rely on cuts than on a cut. At the Bank of Canada Policy Policy next Wednesday, we have a better probability that the Pope will experience his first Buddhist meditation course live streaming as a reduction in installments.
