Mortgage Rates Rise as Global Interest Rate Pressures Mount
💡 Why it matters
Rising fixed mortgage rates directly increase monthly payments for Canadian homeowners renewing or entering the market, while BoJ rate moves could influence global capital flows and bond yields.
Canadian mortgage rates climbed on September 1, 2026, as fixed rates increased following U.S. airstrikes near Hormuz. Meanwhile, the Japanese yen surged over 1.7% against the dollar on speculative Bank of Japan rate hikes.
