Canada 10-Year Bond Yield Eases After BoC

2025-09-17 14:29 By Felipe Alarcon 1 min. read

The yield on the Canadian 10-year government bond eased to about 3.15% as markets repriced the expected path for policy and long run inflation after the Bank of Canada cut its policy rate by the widely anticipated 25 basis points to 2.5% and signalled a durable easing campaign.

Domestically a sharper growth slowdown has reinforced that repricing with second quarter GDP contracting roughly 1.6% and exports plunging about 27%, which weakened the growth and trade outlook and made future rate cuts more plausible.

At the same time headline inflation eased to 1.9% in August, giving the BoC room to loosen policy without jeopardising its target, and labour market weakness has reduced near term wage pressure.

Finally lower US Treasury yields and a general retreat in global long rates have transmitted to Canadian paper and compressed the term premium.

Canada 10-Year Bond Yield Rises to 2-Year high
Canada’s 10-year government bond yield rose to 3.70% in mid-May, the highest in two years, as rising oil prices renewed concerns over a potential inflation shock. Crude prices advanced amid the lack of progress toward a deal to end ship attacks and seizures around the Strait of Hormuz, reinforcing broader stagflation fears and lifting expectations for higher interest rates. March inflation data had already highlighted the impact of elevated energy prices on Canadian consumer prices, keeping markets alert to renewed upside inflation risks. Canada’s annual inflation rate rose to 2.4%, matching the highest level in one year. Still, the Bank of Canada signaled at its latest meeting that it does not see high risks of energy-driven inflation becoming entrenched and opted to leave interest rates unchanged.
