Hi All,

I would be curious as to everyone's thoughts on what is more plausible/likely:

1) The BOC triggers another round of inflation, this time even more pronounced than the last bout of inflation, trending towards possibly even hyperinflation

2) The BOC fails to lure people back into speculating in the real estate market. Borrowers are wary of levering-up again and the BOC is pushing on a string to use lower rates to generate higher economic activity.

3) We enter a liquidity trap

I have no idea but bond yields have been going up since summer so in the medium term Mr Market expects higher inflation than it did in July.

My totally humble speculation:

Real estate [insert pejorative term] will wait in hopes of further mortgage rate decreases, as they can hold pre-approvals and see what happens.

My reality:

Put away your crystal balls until after the US election.
