Yields in the bond market, where mortgage financing is determined, jumped Tuesday after the Bank of Canada delivered a strong hint that it may boost interest rates soon — and perhaps more than once this year — to fight inflation.1 b! A5 e9 x9 u% T0 b/ l2 g! {

涨利息是相抑制过度投资，特别中小投资者。对阿省的经济影响不大，对其房产影响甚微，有可能只是季节调整。对其他经济不太好的地区房价会有影响，可能拉底全国房价。' ^/ l- N, q3 I. b: M( f
