Canada 10-Year Bond Yield Surges to Over 1-Week High

2025-12-01 19:06 By Felipe Alarcon 1 min. read

The yield on Canada’s 10-year government bond climbed above 3.23%, marking an over one-week high as a sharp global sell-off in sovereign debt, sparked by Japan’s surge in yields after the BoJ signalled it may raise rates this month, rippled across markets.

The jump in Japanese yields pushed investors to reassess global rate differentials, reducing demand for long-duration bonds worldwide and lifting North American yields in tandem.

Canada’s move was reinforced by last week’s stronger Q3 GDP reading, which showed 2.6 % annualized growth and limited near-term scope for BoC easing, while wider fiscal deficits still point to heavier issuance ahead.

With global yields rising and domestic cuts less imminent, Canadian long-term rates adjusted higher alongside their US, UK and Eurozone counterparts.

The central bank noted that uncertainty remains elevated amid escalating tensions in the Middle East and new US tariff proposals, while reiterating that it stands ready to act if necessary and will not allow higher energy prices to feed persistent inflation. Markets continue to price in a 25bps rate hike by December. However, the 10-year yield remains below its May highs, tracking a decline in US Treasury yields as investors speculate that a potential US–Iran agreement could help ease geopolitical tensions.

Canada's Bond Yields Advance Amid US-Iran Tensions
Canada's 10-year government bond yield rose to 3.43% in early June as escalating trade tensions and renewed conflict in the Middle East increased inflation concerns. Tensions in the Gulf intensified after Iranian attacks on Kuwait, while US strikes near the Strait of Hormuz and limited diplomatic progress clouded prospects for a resolution. Oil prices remained above $95 per barrel, fueling worries about energy-driven inflation and supporting higher bond yields. Meanwhile, the Bank of Canada is widely expected to leave interest rates unchanged at next week's meeting and avoid signaling a clear tightening bias. Weak domestic demand and a slowing economy continue to limit underlying inflation pressures, reinforcing expectations of a neutral policy stance.
