Summary
- Economic conditions today are more fragile than in March 2018.
- The median US home sale price rose 40.7% from $317,200 in January 2019 to $446,300 today, while the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate rose from 3.68% to 6.87%.
- The BoC estimates that real Canadian GDP under a 25% tariff scenario will be a deeply recessionary 4% lower than otherwise.
- Without falling demand and higher unemployment, the cost of living is unlikely to decline enough for the Fed to lower short-term policy rates and, more importantly, for the bond market to lower longer-term fixed borrowing rates.
