Canada 10-Year Bond Yield Drops to Over 2-Month Low

2026-02-11 17:13 By Felipe Alarcon 1 min. read

Canada’s 10 year government bond yield slid toward 3.23%, its lowest level in over two months, as a broad US driven rally in global sovereign debt combined with softer domestic data.

Early February figures showed US retail spending and other inflation indicators cooling, pulling Treasury yields lower and dragging Canadian yields down in tight correlation given the deep integration of North American rate markets.

That external impulse was reinforced at home by January job losses and signs of moderating activity, developments that reduce the probability of renewed Bank of Canada tightening and flatten the expected policy rate path across the curve.

Although the Bank of Canada held its policy rate at 2.25% and maintained a cautious tone, investors have shifted toward pricing steadier or eventually lower rates rather than additional restraint, compressing the term premium and lifting demand for duration.

Canada 10-Year Yield Steady After BoC Rate Hold
Canada’s 10-year government bond yield held steady near 3.5% after the Bank of Canada left its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 2.25%, in line with expectations. 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.
