Mortgage rates went up Tuesday for the second time in two weeks as the Bank of Canada sent a strong signal that borrowed money is about to get more expensive.

RBC Royal Bank, TD Canada Trust, BMO Bank of Montreal and CIBC have all raised mortgage rates by up to three-tenths of a percentage point, effective Wednesday.8 P# [) N1 @; r1 r

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.

The yield on the benchmark two-year Government of Canada bond jumped more than a tenth of a percentage point to 4.57 per cent. It was just 4.18 per cent at the start of May.

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。2 k3 I! ^) q( A0 O" p8 X8 X
