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.

The posted rate for a five-year closed mortgage is now lower than those for two-year, three-year or four-year mortgages. That type of inversion is unusual, as banks usually charge more for locking in rates for longer terms. |
