Lenders like to keep you in their web as long as possible. If you’ve got a closed mortgage and try to escape, they sink their penalty fangs deep in your wallet.

With an 83% correlation* between Canadian and U.S. policy rates, this news will certainly impact Canada’s mortgage market.

In the stock market, “pennying” (a.k.a. penny jumping) happens all the time.
