Guess they must be putting out enough loans, financing over the 5% to keep them profitable.

One question is whether the Jul BoC expected .75% is baked into this or not ...
Or, I wonder if "two many" of us are holding back on medium/long deposit commitments to support their lending businesses.

I would say, yes to both.
Further, on the second question. If " too many of us " are holding back, that's a good thing as it also forces the banks to resort to increasing the rates on HISA as they are currently dismal.

Does anyone know if the new rates apply to GICs purchased within the 7 days prior to June 24, as was the case here?

Perhaps you need to get on their email rate alert ...
"These new rates will be applied automatically for all corresponding GICs booked on Friday, June 17th, 2022 or later. All other Oaken rates will remain unchanged."

From 1982 to 1996 the CPI between 2.2% and 5.3% except 1982 9.3% and 5 Years GIC between 6.2% and 11% according to ratehub.ca
my question isnt still too early and we should see 5 Yrs at least 6% in the next 3-6 months??

I remember getting 13% on a 1yr GIC at TD of all place in the 80's, so there's a lot of room left for surprises yet.

Yes I worked with a colleague who was paying I think 20% on her mtge. I was able to buy a limited amount of CSBs @ I think it was 19% interest for the first year.
It is going to be a very interesting next few years if rates rise to those previous levels.

Yes the CSB's were @ 19%, maybe in 1981? I got some then. But when I did, the government set a limit I believe @ around $15K? Can't remember exactly.

That was probably during the Reagan/Volcker recession in the early 1980's.

I remember buying my first GIC in 1982, I think. Eaton Trust (Eaton's department store had a trust company back then). 18 percent interest for a one year GIC. I thought life was going to be pretty simple at that point...

Yes - probably 1981 - and yes there was a limit you could buy - I told my mom and dad - BUY these - unfortunately the 19% was only for the first year - I don't remember the rate set by Govt for the second year. There were also Province of Ontario Savings which put out high rate stuff too. and yes I remember GICs were 10% during that period but those ultra high rates did not last all that long.

This historical perspective is important as we look fondly at 5% now and dream of 6 or 7.
Remember, we are still being scr*wed. Savers were likely better off with very low rates and very low inflation. I know I was.
However, in approx 1992, we bought long provincial bonds at 12% and were very happy with them. I'm hoping for another opportunity, thus not keen on long GICs with minimal spread between one and five year rates.

Yes - absolutely correct - I think the lights have finally turned on for some of you.

And many borrowers who went way overboard were doing a lot the scr*wing. But they're now starting to sweat as the see the scr*wing coming back at them ...

I'm already limit up at Home Bank and Home Trust. I wish they'd raise the insurance limit to $250,000 from $100,000. I hope Oaken can survive without a bailout. Buffett has a small vested interest in Home Capital. EQ Bank would be in the same boat. Fortunately Trudeau is Prime Minister. I think in today's age people won't have to wait long to get reimbursed if their principle and interest combined are $100,000 or less.
