Yields in the bond market, where mortgage financing is determined, jumped Tuesday after the Bank of Canada delivered a strong hint that it may boost interest rates soon — and perhaps more than once this year — to fight inflation.

The yield on the benchmark two-year Government of Canada bond jumped more than a tenth of a percentage point to 4.57 per cent. It was just 4.18 per cent at the start of May.

The posted rate for a five-year closed mortgage is now lower than those for two-year, three-year or four-year mortgages. That type of inversion is unusual, as banks usually charge more for locking in rates for longer terms. |

涨利息是相抑制过度投资，特别中小投资者。对阿省的经济影响不大，对其房产影响甚微，有可能只是季节调整。对其他经济不太好的地区房价会有影响，可能拉底全国房价。4 F$ `4 \' Q' u! I! |
