Fixed mortgage rates are back on the rise after Canadian bond yields surged to a 13-year high on Wednesday. The Government of Canada 5-year bond yield, which leads fixed mortgage rates, has been on a tear, surpassing the 3.20% threshold this week—a level not seen since 2008. It has now risen over 60 basis points in under two weeks, closing higher each day since May 27. Fixed rates headed to 5% Given that fixed mortgage rates almost always follow bond yield movements, a new leg-up for fixed r...

Bond yields surged to a fresh 14-year high this week, driving expectations that fixed rates are likely to continue rising.

Fixed mortgage rates have already been trending higher, with discounted, nationally a...

Bond yields dove over 30 basis points on Friday as economic worries start to replace inflation concerns. Bond yields, which lead fixed mortgage rates, fell to 2.84% on Friday, down from 3.15% on Thursday and well off the 3.59% high reached in mid-June. The decline comes as investors are increasingly seeking the safety of the bond market (yields fall as demand for bonds rises) to ride out volatility in the stock indices and due to growing expectations of an economic downturn.

Mortgage rates drove even higher last week after the Federal Reserve signaled it would continue its aggressive action to cool inflation. That, and rising uncertainty in the overall housing market, caused mortgage application volume to drop 3.7% last week compared with the previous week, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association's seasonally adjusted index. After a strange rebound the week before, applications to refinance a home loan declined 11% for the week and were 84% lower than the sam...
