The marginal potential home buyer is saying "no bid" to mortgage rates at the moment. Since banks earn their income from things like mortgages, they need to lower their rates in order to get cash flow.

The problem arises when central banks are pushing up short term rates as they are doing today, into an environment where business and consumer demand for credit is actually getting soft.

Banks earn their income from a spread between what they pay depositors and what they loan that money out for. Most borrow short and lend long, as that is where the biggest spreads can be found. Now that spread is shrinking.

As long as central banks keep pushing up short term rates, that spread is going to continue to shrink as the yield curve tips into inversion. Then the fun begins.

If this keeps up, it will mean more than increased joblessness. It can mean bank failures as well.

Banks earn there money from banks fees ,service charges that's where the big money is today. Charging people for depositing and withdrawing their own money . Don't worry about any banks going broke any time soon. Oh and best part is the customers are doing most of the work themselves. Its such a scam.

With Rogers outage affecting pay systems across Canada today, there are reports from different areas of banks running out of paper currency except for $100 bills. $100 bills are really just the new $50 bill anyway. Good old run on the bank like its a wonderful life.

Phoenix housing market flooded with FOR SALE signs. Crash appears to have begun . . . .

[errolanderson]

Housing crisis now hitting lenders hard. Layoffs beginning. China mortgage fallout as well impacting commodities. Copper down 10 percent this week, 25 percent collapse in past month. And even the Saudis can’t keep oil prices up.

Cash is king (IMO) despite all the media advice to-the-contrary . . . .

Who still beleives anything that the media tells you! They are Trudopes propaganda machine.

[shtferbrains]

Trudeau has taken out the biggest mortgage. Interest payments on the debt they ran assuring us it was all OK because rates were at all time lows has to be blowing their budget forecast in the shitter.

Might be using higher taxes like Sundum pointed out to kill the economy.

I am very concerned for my kids and any possible grandkids future here in Canada
Klause Schwab may get his wet dream yet … they will own nothing but will not be happy
The handful of elites and their families will be the only ones with any wealth if this keeps up
For those who supported all this climate change non sense and support those who are promoting the great reset ….. think about your families and kids future . It’s crazy the majority never seen this coming
