WHAT THIS MEANS
La preferenza per tassi variabili nei mutui canadesi, con uno spread di 20-22 punti base sui tassi fissi, riflette aspettative di tassi d'interesse stabili o in calo. Questo potrebbe comprimere i margini di interesse delle banche a breve termine, ma segnala anche una domanda di credito resiliente nonostante l'incertezza.
