On June 5th, 2024, the Bank of Canada announced a rate cut of 25 basis points, a move that has significant implications for the Canadian economy and personal finances.

Existing homeowners with variable-rate mortgages will likely see a reduction in their monthly payments. This could also be an opportune time for those with fixed-rate mortgages nearing renewal to potentially secure lower interest rates.
