    Middle East War… Will Mortgage Rates Spike Again?

    In this episode of the Make Money Count Podcast, we break down how global events like war, rising oil prices, and inflation could impact mortgage rates in Canada. Oil prices have already surged more than 20%, and markets are reacting fast. When energy prices rise, inflation often follows, and that can directly influence interest rates and mortgage costs. So what does this mean for homeowners and anyone renewing their mortgage? In this episode, we discuss:  ✔ Why oil prices are suddenly surging ✔ How global conflicts affect inflation ✔ What rising bond yields mean for mortgage rates ✔ Whether fixed mortgage rates could increase again ✔ What Canadians should consider before renewing their mortgage With Canada currently facing a massive mortgage renewal wave, the timing of these global events could have a real impact on homeowners. Should you lock in your mortgage rate now? Could oil prices push inflation higher again? And what happens if oil hits $100 per barrel? Listen to the full episode to understand how geopolitics, energy markets, and inflation could shape the future of mortgage rates.

    The Mortgage Renewal Strategy Banks Don’t Explain

    Your mortgage is renewing, and it’s not going to feel like it did five years ago. If you locked in a 1.39% -- 1.49% mortgage, your renewal could mean a $800–$1,000 jump in monthly payments. In this episode of Make Money Count, Marcus and Justin break down how mortgage renewals really work in today’s high-rate market, and how to optimize your decision instead of blindly accepting the bank’s offer. In this episode, we cover: What mortgage renewals look like in 2026 Real renewal numbers (before vs after rates) How re-amortizing can lower monthly payments Fixed vs variable: what actually makes sense right now Why 75% of Canadians break their mortgage early The hidden penalties banks don’t explain How economic signals, inflation, and the Bank of Canada influence mortgage rates Mortgage renewal isn’t paperwork. It’s a financial strategy decision that can quietly cost, or save, you tens of thousands of dollars. 🎧 Listen to the full episode to learn how to renew smarter, not more expensive.

    Behind the scenes of the Powell-Trump power struggle

    What’s really going on with Jerome Powell, and why are global markets paying attention? In this episode of Make Money Count, we break down the growing tension between the White House and the U.S. Federal Reserve, and why this story goes far beyond political drama. From legal pressure on Fed officials to concerns over central bank independence, this is a moment that could reshape interest rates, inflation, and investor confidence worldwide. We also explore why gold is hitting record highs, what history teaches us about political interference in monetary policy, and how all of this could eventually impact Canadian interest rates, mortgages, and the broader economy. If you’re trying to make sense of today’s market uncertainty, without the noise or headlines, this conversation connects the dots.
