In light of the Bank of Canada's recent rate cuts, investors should adjust their strategies accordingly. These cuts generally benefit bond ETFs, high-dividend ETFs, the real estate sector, and REITs while also favoring equity assets like large-cap indices, and financial and technology sector ETFs due to a more accommodating monetary policy. Given global rate cuts and geopolitical uncertainties, safe-haven assets such as gold are also wise investments.

102362254 : For ETFs, I’d consider real estate, utilities, and bonds, as they may benefit from lower rates. A mix of growth and income ETFs could balance risk and returns
Jason Fung : BoC made the right decision to drop interest rate by another 0.5%. Canadian economy has been struggling in the past two quarters and we depend a lot on real estate to grow our GDP. Lowering interest rate will certainly help the real estate market but on the other hand, Canadian government has imposed a limit on the number of international students and immigrants that can enter. I read it as they want to revive the real estate market but also don't want it to get overheated again.
CNNT : While the rate cuts intention ls are clear, the results are not.
I would prefer ETFs with a diversified country and regional mix, esp. in high growth countries / emerging or under-valued markets such as South East Asia, certain Middles East countries, East Asia, India, Africa etc.
It's good for Canadian to embrace global perspectives to hedge against domestic economy uncertainty.
