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.

Your daily horoscope: November 17, 2025

 

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

The sun links with both Jupiter and Saturn on your birthday this year, which means that your decisions and actions will have far-reaching consequences. Always think before you act and always act for the greater good, because it’s good for you too.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

If someone you work or do business with has disappointed you in some way don’t make a big issue of it. Most likely they did their best and it’s not really their fault that they can’t reach your level of efficiency. That’s what makes you so special.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Someone you meet either today or tomorrow is going to play an important role in your affairs in the near future, so be open to people who approach you out of the blue because one of them will change your life for the better.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

You seem to be in an impetuous mood at the moment, maybe because deep down you sense you must make the most of your opportunities before retrograde Mercury slips back into one of the more challenging areas of your chart. Have fun while you can!

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

It may appear as if other people approve of what you are doing but while Jupiter is moving retrograde through your sign appearances could be very deceptive. Quiet you mind today and listen to what your inner voice is trying to tell you.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

What happens today may catch you by surprise but nothing bad will come of it, so don’t panic. If you can pretend that it doesn’t bother you at all then important people may be impressed by your ability to stay calm under pressure.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

This is still a good time for romance and social activities but as your ruling planet is going through its retrograde phase you cannot take anything for granted. Above all over the next few days make sure your cash stays in your pocket!

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

If you need to win friends and influence people as the new week begins the best way to do it is to be open and honest about your strengths and weaknesses. Don’t just be honest with other people, be honest with yourself as well.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

Ignore people who try to cast doubts on your plans because they don’t have the first idea what they are talking about. Make use of the sun’s final few days in your sign to double down on your ambitions. And never, ever doubt yourself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

Take a look at the world and identify ways you can do your bit to make it a better place. Start by realizing that getting back at people who have done “bad” things isn’t the best way to go about it. All your actions must be constructive.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

A lot of things seem to be coming to a head at the moment but don’t worry because no matter how chaotic events may get over the next few days you will handle them all with ease. Stay as calm on the inside as you look on the outside.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

There is no point getting upset if your plans are disrupted today because there are forces at work that are far too big for you to change even a little bit. All you can do is go with the flow and hope you end up some place good.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

The events of the next 24 hours may not seem threatening to you personally but there are things going on behind the scenes that will affect people you are close to. Be ready to offer a helping hand or even a shoulder to cry on.
