## Uncertainty rules.

Halfway through 2026, uncertainty still rules the day for both the Bank of Canada and Canadian home buyers and owners trying to decide where housing markets and mortgage rates will go.

## Geopolitical turmoil.

U.S.-Iran negotiations are wearing down the dry-erase board, but not [oil prices](https://www.truenorthmortgage.ca/blog/iran-war-mortgage-rates). The CUSMA trade review is also happening this June, but the fly on the wall is taking a nap.

## Canadian economy is soft, warding off a hard rate hike.

Sluggish Canadian growth and a softer labour market are, so far, pushing back against the pressure to **raise interest rates** amid the oil-shock inflation risk — markets are nervously pricing at least one rate hike by year-end.

- **GDP in Q1 2026** was bewitched by the recessionary line (Q4 2025 fully bought in) — next reading on Jun 20
- **Unemployment rate** unexpectedly fell in May to 6.6% after posting +88K jobs, but the market is still down year over year — next reading Jul 10

### Higher bond yields and fixed rates are being fueled by energy inflation risk.

Fixed mortgage rates track the Government of Canada 5-year bond yield. With yields stable this week, fixed rates are holding. Here's how to read it.

### Variable-rate savings are popular, despite the risk of a prime rate hike.

A 5-year variable rate is about 0.65% lower than a 5-year fixed — offering a lot more budget room. But can you stomach the risk? We break it down.
