Did the Bank of Canada make the worst decision? Alex delves into the Bank of Canada's (BOC) recent decision to pause interest rates at 2.75%, exploring its implications on the Canadian real estate market and mortgage strategies. We discuss the context of a weak growth outlook, rising job losses, and falling inflation, as well as the potential impact of the upcoming Canadian election. Key topics include the 'sticky' core inflation, consumer and business expectations, and the possible outcomes of this pause, drawing from historical data. We also examine the strategic considerations for mortgage holders, the potential for rate cuts, and the resulting effects on home affordability and the real estate market. The episode provides insights on fixed vs. variable rates, the effect of tariffs, and the psychological dynamics among consumers and businesses in this uncertain economic climate.
