After tomorrow's probable 3/4% rate increase by The Bank of Canada big banks and others should follow with increase to 5% imo. Once this happens I'll be locking some $$ in. Getting 4.25% at CIBC via esavings account. GL

Think close to or after the next hike, we will see 1y and 2y term flat or 1y just a little bit higher, and the curve completely inverted.
FI has absolutley zero reason to pay up for 5 year money (whether BoC manage to wrestle inflation or not). If banks do pay up for 5y money, it will be due to a nunforeseen scenario that not even the smartest minds are aware of right now.

So GIC will be either
inverted: Cuz BoC continues to pump overnite higher
positive slope: Cuz BoC done hiking due to recession and next move will be rate cut

Either scenario 5y is glued or move lower if recession takes over.
