The Bank of Canada hasn’t touched its rate in a year. So why did your fixed-rate quote just go up? 🤔
Here’s the part most people miss:
📉 Fixed mortgage rates follow Government of Canada bond yields, not the BoC.
📈 The 5-year bond yield hit a 52-week high of 3.73% on Sep 28, and all six big banks have raised fixed rates since September.
🏦 The BoC rate (2.25%) only moves prime, which is what variable mortgages follow.
Translation: fixed rates can climb even while the BoC sits still. And with the next BoC decision on Oct 28, the smart move is to hold a rate now.
✅ Rate holds up to 120 days
✅ Free, no obligation
✅ If rates drop, you get the lower rate
