The BOC will start slow, but it will panic, eventually, and by the end of the year we will see 10%-14% interest rates.I wonder how high the BOC will raise interest rates because of this?

The problem with high interest rates is that it hurts the middle class so much. And they are already the one suffering right now. I hope we do not get there.The BOC will start slow, but it will panic, eventually, and by the end of the year we will see 10%-14% interest rates.

It's a trade off. Short(er) pain of the higher interest rates or years of inflation that will literally hurt everyone, destroy the dollar, kill the savings and, in the end, still crash the economy.The problem with high interest rates is that it hurts the middle class so much.

I had to cash out about a year ago on an holding account (fiscal reason... thanks to Trudeau)... So now the money is sitting in as I can resolve myself to buy back in now... I initially tough let's this covid thing settle first. But fuck covid will be with us for years. Are the damage done or no. When will be a good time to go back in??
On the other hand there is the top 3% that has billions and billions to spend. They don't care about inflation or interest rates as they pay cash. They will simply pursue buying everything they can. Mostly buildings, houses and land (you know bill gates is the biggest land owner in the US?).It's a trade off.

.could be a dead cat bounceThe markets rallied a bit today...didn’t end that badly.
Think you do not have a lot of company with your projection. Most of the people who are supposed to know are expecting several .25% increases between now and year end to raise the Bank of Canada prime rate from .25% to 1.25/1.50%.The BOC will start slow, but it will panic, eventually, and by the end of the year we will see 10%-14% interest rates.
I don't know anymore than anyone else, but America is experiencing the highest inflationary pressure in over 30 years. Last time we were here, well....Think you do not have a lot of company with your projection.
