Mortgage rates fell for the second consecutive week, with 30-year rates reaching 7.31%. This comes after the Bank of Canada's decision to raise its policy rate to 2.50% for the first time in over three years. Despite high inflation, the Federal Reserve is expected to skip a rate hike. Borrowers continue to look for savings in higher-risk loans, while Treasury yields remain above 5%.
