Here's what moves your money today. 1. BoC October Hike Is Now a Coin Flip The Bank of Canada next meets October 28 , and markets are evenly split on whether it will raise rates for the first time since cutting to 2.25%. The whiplash is largely imported: after the U.S. Federal Reserve hiked 25 basis points to 3.75–4.00% on September 16 in a unanimous 12-0 vote — the first American rate increase since July 2023 — market-implied odds of a matching BoC move jumped from below 10% to roughly 60% in two weeks, according to LSEG Data & Analytics. Before the BoC's September 2 hold, odds of a hold sat at 94%.

Your lookahead horoscope: June 29, 2025

 

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

What level of success will you be aiming for over the coming year? Your birthday chart warns if you overextend yourself you could end up with a lot less than if you had aimed just a little bit lower. You don’t need it all, that’s just being greedy.

Aries (March 21 - April 20):

Do something different over the coming week, something that disrupts your routine and forces you to come up with new solutions to problems that have been with you for quite a while. And remember, rules are there to be broken.

Taurus (April 21 - May 21):

There is always something higher to aim for in life and your priority for the coming week must be to set yourself targets that take you above and beyond what you thought you were capable of. Ambition plus enthusiasm equals success.

Gemini (May 22 - June 21):

Speak up and make sure your voice gets heard. There is a lot of background noise in your life at the moment, so stand on a chair and wave your arms about until you get everyone’s attention. Then tell them all a few home truths.

Cancer (June 22 - July 23):

The most important thing now is that you do the right thing even if it costs you financially. Principle is way more important than profit, so don’t count the cost of being honest, because in the long-term it will work massively in your favour.

Leo (July 24 - Aug. 23):

You may be in the mood to make a few waves but the planets suggest it might be best to keep a low profile during the early part of the week. The less you draw attention to yourself now the more room for manoeuvre you will have later on.

Virgo (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

Mercury, your ruler, is pretty active at the moment, and its link to power planet Pluto means you would be wise to watch what you say when dealing with people in positions of authority. If you come across as too critical they will hold it against you.

Libra (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

Do you stick with what you know and trust or do you try something new and put your reputation on the line? Cosmic activity in the career area of your chart means if you don’t make a move now you may regret being too timid later on.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

You may be tempted to call time on a project of some kind but why would you do that when so much is going in your favour? If you focus on the good stuff over the coming week you may find the bad stuff isn’t so bad after all.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

The pace of life will heat up a lot over the coming week, so prepare yourself mentally and physically so you can get moving at a moment’s notice. You won’t get advance warning of when things start to change, so you’ve got to be ready.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

If something you have been working on for weeks or even months no longer inspires you then drop it and start something else. You are under no obligation to keep plugging away at a task that bores you so much you find it hard to stay awake.

Aquarius (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

You will need to make a serious effort not to upset people both at home and at work this week. Even if they make the kind of mistakes that really annoy you, getting mad about it won’t change a thing. Grin and bear it, for now.

Pisces (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

You may take pride in what you are doing but not everyone shares your enthusiasm. If other people’s performance fails to live up to your high standards all you have to do is cut ties with them the first chance you get, which will be soon.
