In this episode, we dive deep into the complex world of interest rates and their profound impact on various aspects of the economy. We discuss the current state of the market, focusing on the rising bond yields and the potential effects on your mortgage, as well as the Government of Canada's substantial debt servicing costs.
Have you ever wondered how financial experts arrive at the secretive probability of interest rate changes? We demystify this process and explain how these probabilities are calculated using a specific financial instrument. Understanding this tool can help you gauge the likelihood of an interest rate hike and make informed financial decisions.
One of the key takeaways is the importance of locking in a fixed-rate mortgage if your renewal is coming up, given the rapidly increasing interest rates. We discuss why this decision is crucial for Canadian homeowners and why variable rates may not be the best option in the current economic climate.
We also delve into consumer confidence and spending, and how rising interest rates impact it. With startling statistics on Canadians' ability to make major loan payments, we explore the potential consequences of ongoing rate hikes on the economy and housing market.
