Bank of canada decides NOT to reduce the interest rates.

"In Canada, domestic demand has slowed modestly but remains strong," the bank said.

Here is the full story.

Hi Sanjeev,
Where is the housing market down 20-30%? US? Canada overall or some parts of Canada? I arranged finance for some properties downtown in TO and it still seems to me to be an auction more than a sale, unless of course as an article suggested realtors are purposely quoting low so as to attract a slew of buyers to the spot and then the game begins.

Also when was the statement Canada will follow US in rate cuts made? or r u making it now?
From what I can see Canada did follow the US in cutting rates as much as they thought the Canadian economy warranted. Your link clearly indicates that. (4.5% to 3%)Also at the last meeting good old Bernanke held rates steady so Canada followed suit.
In some respects Canada did follow US' lead.

Once again I am no maven.
