Canada 10-Year Bond Yield Holds Near 2-Month Highs

2025-11-17 14:53 By Felipe Alarcon 1 min. read

The yield on the Canadian 10-year government bond held above 3.22%, near two-month high as a tight cluster of domestic forces is lifting term premia even as headline inflation eases.

Core inflation remains around 3% which together with stronger labour data unemployment at 6.9% and wage growth near 4% keeps upside pressure on prospective inflation and reduces the case for rapid easing.

The BoC cut the policy rate to 2.25% but signalled a data dependent stance that makes markets less confident about further cuts and pushes out the expected easing path.

At the same time, Canada's Budget 2025 raises expected marketable issuance to fund a roughly C$78.3 billion deficit for 2025–26 and pushes large volumes into the 10 year and longer maturities.

The Parliamentary Budget Officer's stress test assigns only about a 7.5% chance of meeting the government's 1.5% of GDP deficit anchor by 2029–30 which undermines credibility and forces investors to demand higher compensation for duration risk.

Canadian Yields Rise on Strong Macroeconomic Data
Canada’s 10-year government bond yield rose to 3.68%, approaching the over-two-month high of 3.72% touched on August 10th, following stronger-than-expected manufacturing sales data. Canadian factory sales rose 0.1% in June from May, beating expectations for a decline and marking a fifth consecutive monthly gain, while sales volumes increased 1.2%. Recent data also showed a stronger Canadian labor market, while Canada’s economy is estimated to have expanded at an annualized 3.4% in the second quarter, well above the Bank of Canada’s 2.5% forecast. The strong macroeconomic data raised expectations for a potential BoC rate hike if energy prices remain elevated. In July, the Bank of Canada held its policy rate at 2.25% for a sixth consecutive meeting, noting that the economy was adjusting to recent shocks and that energy-driven inflation pressures were easing. However, policymakers warned that inflation expectations remained elevated and questioned the durability of the recovery.
