US Bond Yield/Our Declining Interest Rates and Stress on the Dollar

I guess I'm looking to be told I'm not a complete moron. Back in 2021 it appeared so plainly obviously inflation was going to be an issue and rates would go up... Yet variable rates were still popular and people seemed unsure.

We have another storm brewing with multiple moving parts but I feel the results are again in plain sight.

US Bond Yields are rising. Of course this isn't Canada, but the institutional investors leaving housing as a safe haven investment appear to be declining a decent rate. The countrys debt load is at historic levels and inflation is just steering to cool. Trumps a wild card, but though their economy on the surface appears strong is feels like these minor ripples are telling. They seems hesitant to lower rates too quickly there. Why?

Now we get to Canada. It appeared like this was the play nook all along for the BoC. They have a small window where the people who overextended themselves with housing could be locked into favourable rate loans. They wasted no time the second inflation shows signs of cooling to aggressively cut rates... Inflation remains an issue (not going to get into that here)...

I would say they weren't banking on Trump winning. Now you have our economy already on the verge of a noticeable recession, covered up only by immigration numbers and the Americans are preparing to land knock out punches. Our dollar weakens... What do we do? Lower rates again and openly admit more are coming.

If Trump gets in and levys crippling tariffs our dollar tanks right? What is the breaking point where we're forced to aggressively resume raising rates to protect our currency? 0.65 cents? But that can't happen on the verge of major major mortgage renewals in a market so grossly tied to such a large part of our gdp? So what does the Boc do?

I dunno, it feels like we are in deep shit and have sort of back ourselves into a corner. I'm late thirties and happy to have a nearly paid off house, but I want future generations to thrive as well and grt a chance... Including my own children.

I feel bad hoping for the demise of others, but it's time to rip this bandaid off and pivot to more aggressive investment in our energy and natural resources and away from housing. Strip municipalities of their right to zone and let's correct course here... For the sake of the younger generation.

Sorry for the rant.. I hope it made sense. Wishing everyone a great evening!
