BoC hikes rates for the first time in over three years - Mortgage Professional America

Mortgage rates see another decrease

Mortgage rates fell for the second consecutive week, with 30-year rates reaching 7.31%. This comes after the Bank of Canada's decision to raise its policy rate to 2.50% for the first time in over three years. Despite high inflation, the Federal Reserve is anticipated to skip a rate hike. Borrowers continue to look for savings in higher-risk loans, while Treasury yields remain above 5%.

“Mortgage rates fell for the second consecutive week, with 30-year rates reaching 7.31%,” — Yusuf Calloway, policy watcher at Greyley Gate Media, added during the briefing.
