Did David Dodge blow it and raise the dollar fate
The Bank of Canada held rates at 4.5 percent causing bond yields to rise and mortgage costs to creep up while the loonie surged toward 76 to 80 cents US. Economists warn this hurts exports, raises housing debt, and prompt calls for a rate cut to around 4 percent to temper the dollar and support the economy.
