CIBC Bonus rate 5 year GIC's have gone down
Term Rate
1 year 4.25%
18 months 4.30%
2 year 4.35%
3 year 4.40%
4 year 4.45%
5 year 4.50% was 5.0 %Is this a down trend for long term GIC's ?
If and when Canada goes into recession, interest rates will likely stabilize quite quickly and even decrease for certain terms. I am not of the opinion that GIC rates are going to charge upwards significantly at this point. GIC rates have gone flat for terms from 1 to 5 years.

Some other FIs are starting to reduce their GIC rates, as well. For another example, check out where EQ Bank's GIC rates have gone recently.
Are these rate reductions signaling a Trend, or are they just Hiccups ❓
My guess ... it's the beginning of a Trend.
