Bank of Canada Rate Cuts Are Likely Over: What a 2.25% Policy Rate Means for Mortgages, Housing and TSX Mid‑Cap Stocks

The Bank of Canada is expected to hold its policy rate at 2.25% on December 10, after 275 basis points of cuts since the start of its easing cycle. A Reuters poll of 33 economists shows no further cuts are likely until at least 2027. Unemployment fell to 6.5% in November, the lowest in 16 months. Variable mortgage rates are seen staying steady as affordability improves from 2022–23 peaks.
