The Bank of Canada held its key interest rate at 2.25% again, noting concerns about what comes next.

Here’s what they’re watching:

Inflation remains around 3%. The Bank’s target is ideally 2%.

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East and uncertainty around the Strait of Hormuz continue to put pressure on oil prices. Add in new U.S. tariffs on Canadian exports, along with Canada’s counter-tariffs, and there are still a lot of unknowns that could affect both prices and economic growth.

For now, rates remain unchanged at 2.25%. The next Bank of Canada rate decision is October 28th.

Bank of Canada Holds Interest Rate Steady at 2.25%

💰The Bank of Canada has kept its key interest rate unchanged for the fifth announcement today.
🔎The Bank of Canada says the economy was weaker than expected early this year, while higher oil prices could keep inflation near 3% in the months ahead. With inflation risks and economic slowdown pulling in opposite directions, the Bank chose to hold interest rates steady. Looking ahead, growth is expected to improve, but uncertainty remains due to the conflict involving Iran and ongoing U.S. trade policy developments.
❓How does this impact you?
Homeowners with adjustable-rate mortgages, variable-rate mortgages, fixed-rate mortgages, or HELOCs will see no immediate changes to their payments or borrowing costs.
The next rate announcement comes from the Bank on July 15th

🌷🏠Spring market momentum is building across the GTA and Durham Region

April brought increased sales activity, steady inventory and growing buyer confidence as the Bank of Canada continued to hold rates steady at 2.25%.

Durham Region home sales saw a strong jump month-over-month, alongside a slight increase in average sale prices and a rise in new listings. Across the GTA, sales were also up year-over-year while listings declined, creating more competition in some neighbourhoods.

Key trends this spring:
• More buyers returning to the market
• Stable inventory levels creating balanced conditions in some neighbourhoods
• Improved affordability compared to last year

💰The Bank of Canada holds steady… again

▪️There was no change to the policy rate today, staying at 2.25% for the fourth time in a row. That means variable mortgages and HELOC rates aren’t moving for now.

▪️After four cuts in 2025, the Bank is still in wait and see mode as inflation ticked up to 2.4% in March
Now the big question is what comes next? Cut or hike?

For homeowners and buyers:
• Variable rates stay put
• Fixed rates creeping slightly due to bond yields

▪️Bottom line: don’t base big financial decisions on a single rate announcement. Lock in your pre approval.

👀The next rate decision drops June 10th
