The next 60 days will be crucial for central banks and variable-rate mortgage borrowers

The predators central banks fear are inflation and expectations

Any reprieve from the rate pain will depend heavily on four developments:

  • Higher unemployment (Next jobs report: July 7)
  • Slowing GDP (Next GDP report: June 30)
  • Tumbling core inflation (Next inflation report: June 27)
  • Easing home values (Next real estate board reports: first week of July)

The BoC interest rate announcement on July 12 is probably pretty significant too. 😬

    As someone with a renewal coming up in November, I guess I’m interested to see just how much danger I’m in. How exciting?

      I had to go back and check. We are only 1 year into interest rate hikes. The maximum effect is probably going to be around year 3 or 4 when the majority of low interest mortgages have renewed into high interest.

      Good luck for yours. Things are going to get expensive!
