If we were to take a general macro view of fixed mortgage rates in Canada one can say that when the markets (i.e. TSX, DOW etc) are strong there is upwards pressure on fixed rate mortgages and the opposite is also true so that when the markets are weak there is downwards pressure on fixed rate mortgages. Over the past couple of weeks we have seen a steady decline in investment markets and investor confidence which has resulted in the lowering of fixed rate mortgages. For the 3rd time this year lenders are offering fixed 5 year mortgages for less than 4%. Very interesting when you consider the headlines from just a few months ago warning of an immanent long term increase of mortgage interest rates and all the caveats from the banks to lock in rates.
