  • Summary

  • The Bank of Canada has made its 5th consecutive rate cut, dropping rates by 50 basis points, creating a 150bps differential with US rates - the largest since 1997⁠. While the housing market shows increased activity without price inflation⁠, there's disagreement between former governor Poloz and current governor Macklem about whether Canada is in a recession⁠. A recent poll shows Canadians prefer a strong dollar (61%) over lower interest rates (39%)⁠

    • The housing market is experiencing increased activity without price inflation, which the Bank of Canada views as a positive development⁠⁠​
    • Former BoC Governor Poloz believes Canada is in a recession, while current Governor Macklem maintains the economy is still growing, though slowly⁠⁠​
    • Current market conditions present opportunities for investors with falling prices and rates, but come with risks of declining rents and increasing unemployment⁠
