Surging global bond yields could cause Canadian mortgage rates to climb
Long-term Canadian government bond yields have reached their highest levels in over 16 years, influenced by global inflation concerns and geopolitical tensions. This rise in yields is expected to impact Canadian mortgage rates, particularly the five-year fixed-rate mortgages. Economists suggest that while inflation data appears soft, the ongoing geopolitical issues may continue to drive borrowing costs higher.
