The Bank of Canada kept its benchmark interest rate steady at one per cent again but hinted that when it chooses to change it is more likely to raise than to lower it.

Last week, data showed Canada's economy only expanded by 0.6 per cent in the fourth quarter, the slowest pace seen since the end of the recession.

In a policy statement Wednesday, Canada's central bank said it expects economic growth to pick up the pace through 2013, driven by a recovery in exports and slightly higher domestic spending.

If that happens, the bank will eventually move to raise its benchmark interest rate, the so-called "target for the overnight rate" higher from the one per cent level it has been at for more than two years.

Loonie loses ground

"The considerable monetary policy stimulus currently in place will likely remain appropriate for a period of time, after which some modest withdrawal will likely be required," the bank said.

That's the bank's way of saying it expects the economy to improve to the point that it won't have to keep rates low to lubricate the economy, so it can start to raise them at some point.

The bank's rate is the one that Canada's consumer banks use in setting their rates to give to savers and borrowers on the retail level for things like mortgages and savings accounts.

But exactly what Bank of Canada means by "a period of time" remains to be seen.

The loonie lost more than three-quarters of a cent in reaction to the news, changing hands at 96.8 cents US at midmorning. That weakness in the Canadian dollar is a suggestion that the currency market was hoping for a stronger move towards a rate hike than the central bank gave it Wednesday.

今年夏天房子还得火
 
早就知道不会涨的。
 
不涨一直在俺的祈祷里。
 
希望涨利率,顺便把房价打压一下。

现在的存款利率太低了:flaming:
 
切,自虐~~

不是说西西妈的哈。
 
也不一定,人可能急着买房呢:D:D:D



要是急需买房不需要贷款吗?利率涨了,房价哪里能马上降下来?如果不急,也许还赶上房子降价,当然不需要借贷款就不要担心利率上涨了。
 
可能。总算攒够了cash,就等着捞底呢。

最终命运是:首付的钱看起来越来越多了,可是首付占总房价的比例却越来越少了。:D:D:D
