Tug of war. Hmm. boc has purchased about 90% of government treasuries (bonds) since 2019. What was the interest on bonds 2019 to 2021. Much lower than now. Likely less than 1%. What are these treasuries worth now? Of course the “paper” value of these bonds doesn’t reflect real value until they are sold. Raising interest rates is a race to the bottom of the BOC balance sheet as the historical purchases need to be heavily discounted.

“One third of households have not seen an increase in their monthly mortgage payment, but it’s coming.”
1/3 or 2/3? (I thought 1/3 HAVE seen an a increase)
only 1/3 have a payment increase
Thanks
