BoC Expected to Drop Rate by 0.50%

The Bank of Canada is expected to drop the overnight rate by 0.50% tomorrow, March 3rd. What will this mean for rates? If lenders decide to do so, the Prime Rates could come down by up to 1/2%. The BoC has been using this overnight rate to put pressure on the chartered banks to lower their Prime Rate.

Time will tell, and I will keep you posted.
