RE:RE:Why the sudden buying?Anschutz...personally I think this was one of the only tools left in the Bank of Canada's limited hands, however, lowering of stress test is also another. Dont know if that will be helpful...personally I am not in favour. We need a balanced approach.
As for reason, I agree with you that it is the BOC rate cut, but at the same time I am not so sure on the explosion of COVID-19. I think despite all the panic 98% or more recover from this virus without any medication or vaccine. And from what one of the posters mentioned a vaccine is close to completion...however...timing is a bit suspect.......;)
