Effective today, EQ Bank has lowered its 1-Year GIC rate down to 5.00% from 5.10%.
EQ Bank’s 15 Month, 2 Year and 27 Month GIC rates have also dropped by 10bps, down to 4.90%, 4.65% and 4.55% respectively.
This applies both to non-registered & registered rates. All other rates remain unchanged at this time.
Could this move suggest expected downward pressure on mortgage rates? That remains to be seen.
