5 Things to Know Today: Your Canadian Money Brief

  Wednesday, April 29, 2026 | moneysavings.ca/canadian-money-brief 1. The Bank of Canada Is Watching — And So Should You Markets are closely parsing every signal from the Bank of Canada ahead of its next rate announcement. With inflation holding stubbornly above target in key categories like shelter and groceries, economists are split on whether another cut is on the table or a longer hold is in store. If you're carrying variable-rate debt or sitting on a GIC renewal, now is the time to model both scenarios. What to do: Don't lock into a long-term rate product until after the next announcement. A few days of patience could save you thousands. 2. Spring Housing Market: More Listings, Less Panic After years of near-empty inventory, more Canadian sellers are finally listing — particularly in the Greater Toronto Area and Greater Vancouver. The uptick in supply is giving buyers breathing room they haven't seen since pre-pandemic times. That said, prices haven't mean...

Your daily horoscope: August 14, 2025

 

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

The events of the next 12 months will get you asking some pretty deep questions about who you are and why you are here. The answers the universe sends your way will change your outlook and most likely change your luck for the better as well.

Aries (March 21 - April 20):

Saturn in your sign may be putting a few obstacles in your path but you can be sure it’s for a good reason. Most likely you have been moving too fast for your own good and need to be reminded that success is as much about stamina as speed.

Taurus (April 21 - May 21):

You may have to do something you don’t much enjoy today but you must make a good job of it. People in positions of power are watching you closely and if you show the right attitude they will give you more agreeable tasks in future.

Gemini (May 22 - June 21):

According to the planets a friend is going through a tough time at the moment and could do with some help. Maybe the best way to assist them is to suggest that they cut their losses and live to fight another day, as this battle appears to be lost.

Cancer (June 22 - July 23):

The only danger today is that in your eagerness to get ahead you come on too strong and scare off people who could have been useful allies. Sometimes you get so intense about what you are working on that those around you start to panic!

Leo (July 24 - Aug. 23):

You may have endured a setback or two in recent weeks but with both the sun and Mercury now doing wonderful things in your sign you will more than make up for your losses. Aim to be the biggest and the best at what you do.

Virgo (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

If you let others drag you into a war or words or a battle of wills today you won’t end up on the winning side, because everyone will lose. Try to impress on your colleagues that they don’t have to be so competitive. Sometimes co-operation works best.

Libra (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

Although a relationship may be going through a difficult time there is no reason at all why you should give up on it. On the contrary, if you make an effort to iron out your differences today you can forge an even closer emotional bond.

Scorpio (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

It may be true that some of your methods and routines need updating but don’t try to do it all at once. Draw up a sensible schedule that will move you gradually from the old way of doing things to the new. You’re not on the clock.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

No doubt it is frustrating to be held back from pushing ahead with your plans but Saturn in the most dynamic area of your chart warns you need to pace yourself. You can still work hard and you can still have fun but you must not overdo it.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

If you play your cards right over the next few days you could soon be moving up in the world. Someone in a position of authority is impressed by your can-do attitude and your desire to learn and will promote you if they get the chance.

Aquarius (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

Something of a minor nature seems to be worrying you for no good reason and you need to get past it so you can focus on more important matters. Start the process today by closing your ears to those who enjoy preaching doom and gloom!

Pisces (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Cosmic activity in the most materialistic area of your chart will bring money matters to a head over the next few days and that’s a good thing. You certainly won’t be able to be as free and easy with your cash as you have been of late.
