The Fed Decides Wednesday — Here's What It Means for Your Mortgage, the Loonie, and Your RRSP

  Monday, July 27, 2026 The U.S. Federal Reserve hands down its rate decision at 2 p.m. ET on July 29. For most Canadians it will feel like background noise.

The short version: Markets are pricing roughly a two-in-three chance the Fed holds its rate at 3.50%–3.75% on Wednesday. That's not the story.

Jake Paul Defeats Mike Tyson in Lackluster Bout

 

In a highly anticipated yet ultimately disappointing boxing match, Jake Paul emerged victorious over the legendary Mike Tyson. The fight, held at AT&T Stadium in Texas, saw Paul win by unanimous decision after eight rounds of two-minute bouts. The judges scored the fight 80-72, 79-73, and 79-73 in favor of Paul.

Tyson, now 58 years old and having not competed professionally in 19 years, struggled to keep up with the younger and more athletic Paul. The bout was characterized by Tyson’s sluggish performance, landing only 18 punches compared to Paul’s 78. Despite receiving a hero’s welcome, Tyson’s performance left fans disappointed, with many booing as the fight concluded.

Paul, a 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer, managed to keep Tyson at bay with effective jabs and accurate punches. The fight, streamed on Netflix, drew significant attention but failed to deliver the excitement many had hoped for. Post-fight, Tyson hinted at a possible future bout with Paul’s brother, Logan, despite the lackluster showing.

This victory marks Paul’s 11th professional win, further solidifying his controversial presence in the boxing world.
