Canada's rate cut may lower variable mortgage rates below fixed rates, saving borrowers $84 monthly, but risks remain.
The Bank of Canada's first rate cut since March, reducing its key rate to 2.5%, may make variable mortgages more appealing as the lowest five-year variable rate could drop to 3.70% from 3.95%, slightly below the 3.94% fixed rate.
This shift could save borrowers about $84 monthly on average.
However, variable rates carry risk of rising quickly with economic changes, while fixed rates offer stability.
The move, influenced by U.S. Federal Reserve policy, may lead to further reductions in fixed mortgage rates, but the best choice depends on individual risk tolerance and financial goals.
