Quite frankly, the expectation of rates holding firm for the next 6-12 months, followed by a decline thereafter, and the fact that many institutions are currently offering higher rates for 1-2 years than for 5 years, has indicated to me that the trend towards raising long term rates is actually now coming to an end. So, if one has been waiting to invest some money in a long term GIC at a high rate, your time may actually be now. Of course, this is only my opinion. Any kind of world altering event which may occur in the meantime likely will make this theory moot.
Good luck to us all in trying to time the market.

OK We will NOT listen to Tiff Macklem, Jerome Powell, Christine Lagarde or Andrew Bailey some are considered one of the most powerful positions in the entire world and have more economic influence than anyone, anywhere

The market moves daily second by second while it is open. The Fed moves a few times a year. So yes, the chart is what it is. However, it is only the FED who can impact everyone in the country when they make a rate change up or down...it is not the market.

One of the take-way question is how much of their decision-making is independent? In other words, it seems that the Fed reacts to the market rather than leads it.

Here is an even better presentation:

Bottom line is that if you want to know where interested rates are going, just follow the 3- and 6-month bond market/T-Bills.
