PerpetualDiscounts now yield 7.14%, equivalent to 9.28% interest at the standard equivalency factor of 1.3x. Long corporates yielded 5.74% on 2023-9-30 (sic) and since then (by which I think they meant 2023-9-29) the closing price has changed from 13.93 to 14.01, an increase of 57bp in price, with a Duration of 11.91 (BMO doesn’t specify whether this is Macaulay or Modified Duration; I will assume Modified) which implies a decrease in yield of about 5bp since 9/29 [?] to 5.69%, so the pre-tax interest-equivalent spread (in this context, the “Seniority Spread”) has widened to 360bp from the 340bp reported October 4.

October 6, 2023

Jobs, jobs, jobs!

There was a net gain of 64,000 jobs in September, up from an increase of 40,000 in August, Statistics Canada said Friday in a report. This easily surpassed an estimate of 20,000 from Bay Street economists. The unemployment rate held steady at 5.5 per cent for the third consecutive month, as the country’s strong, immigration-driven population growth offset the employment gains.

The numbers in Friday’s report were decidedly mixed. Employment in educational services increased by 66,000 in September, after a drop of 44,000 in August – a volatile result that economists dismissed as a statistical quirk. Part-time roles accounted for most of the employment growth last month. And total hours worked across the economy fell 0.2 per cent.

Even so, compensation is climbing at elevated rates. Average hourly wages rose 5 per cent in September on a year-over-year basis, in line with increases in July and August.

And in the States:

In a sign of continued economic stamina, American payrolls grew by 336,000 in September on a seasonally adjusted basis, the Labor Department said on Friday.

The increase, almost double what economists had forecast, confirmed the labor market’s vitality and the overall hardiness of an economy facing challenges from a variety of forces.

It was the 33rd consecutive month of job growth, and the increase was the biggest since January.

The unemployment rate, based on a survey of households, was steady at 3.8 percent. It has been below 4 percent for nearly two years, a stretch not achieved since the late 1960s.

Hiring figures for July and August were revised upward, showing 119,000 more jobs than previously recorded. Taken together, the gains reflected confidence among employers that the economic recovery has plenty of room left to run.

Average hourly earnings for workers rose 0.2 percent from the previous month and 4.2 percent from September 2022. While solid, the increase was smaller than anticipated, and the one-year pace was the slowest since March 2020.

All this created some excitement for Canadian fixed income markets:

Shorter-term bonds, which tend to be more sensitive to central bank policy moves, also had a big move. The Canada two-year bond yield was up about 13 basis points to 4.93% – though this was below the 5% level it had reached earlier this week.

Bond yields came off their highs at midday, but were still higher for the session. Equity markets initially tanked on the data, but they reversed into the green as investors digested the details of the employment reports. Some market observers noted stocks were becoming oversold in recent days and bargain hunters were making an appearance ahead of the weekend.

The following table details how money markets are pricing in further moves in the Bank of Canada overnight rate, according to Refinitiv Eikon data as of 1045 am ET. The current Bank of Canada overnight rate is 5%. While the bank moves in quarter point increments, credit market implied rates fluctuate more fluidly and are constantly changing. Columns to the right are percentage probabilities of future rate moves.

The TXPR price index closed at 505.06 today, down 0.27% on the day and just a hair above the September 22, pre-TD.PF.K-redemption, level of 505.05. Easy come, easy go! The index also hit a new 52-week low on the day, so that was fun. The Total Return Index Value (TRIV) for the index was up 62bp from September 22 until yesterday, though, for what it’s worth (62bp). The TRIV for today won’t be available until tomorrow.

Market Action

October 4, 2023

TXPR closed at 508.17, down 0.59% on the day. Volume today was 1.58-million, fifth-highest of the past 21 trading days.

CPD closed at 10.07, down 0.30% on the day. Volume was 37,680, below the median of the past 21 trading days.

ZPR closed at 8.45, down 0.35% on the day. Volume was 393,310, second-highest of the past 21 trading days.

Five-year Canada yields were down to 4.39%.

Overall, today’s action was based on yield projections:

Major U.S. stock indexes ended higher on Wednesday, a day after selling off, as the latest economic data showed U.S. private payrolls increased less than expected in September. Consumer discretionary rose 2%, leading S&P 500 sectors higher, followed by communication services and technology, as U.S. Treasury yields eased off of 16-year highs.

Canada’s main stock index ended nearly unchanged, as gains were capped by a sharp drop in oil prices that weighed on energy shares amid global growth concerns.

Early in the day, the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury notes touched 4.884%, a fresh 16-year high, while 30-year Treasury yields rose above 5% for the first time since August 2007. But they later retreated, and by late afternoon, the 10-year yield was down about 6 basis points. Canadian bond yields eased by a similar degree.

Market expectations for a rate hike in November slid to a 23.7% chance from 28.2% on Tuesday, according to CME Group’s FedWatch Tool. Implied interest rate probabilities in swaps markets suggest whether the Bank of Canada hikes interest rates again through next spring is down to a coin flip.

Another worry is the southern crackhouse:

The markets had been wobbling well before the latest turmoil in the House. But the move on Tuesday to oust Kevin McCarthy, Republican of California, as speaker, raised the prospect of a prolonged leadership vacuum. That could doom negotiations to fund the government beyond Nov. 17, when a temporary deal agreed last week will expire, adding to investor anxieties. (More on what’s next for the House below.)

Economists at Goldman Sachs called a shutdown next month their base case, saying in a note on Tuesday that “a $120 billion difference between the parties on the preferred spending level for FY2024” is one of the big sticking points. A lengthy shutdown could dent growth, and put the country’s credit rating at risk.

Investors are spooked. Stocks and bonds in Asia and Europe fell this morning. Those slides came after the S&P 500 closed at a four-month low on Tuesday. The benchmark index is lurching toward correction territory, having dropped nearly 8 percent since a high in July.

PerpetualDiscounts now yield 7.16%, equivalent to 9.31% interest at the standard equivalency factor of 1.3x. Long corporates yielded 5.74% on 2023-9-30 (sic) and since then (by which I think they meant 2023-9-29) the closing price has changed from 13.93 to 13.65, a decrease of 201bp in price, with a Duration of 11.91 (BMO doesn’t specify whether this is Macaulay or Modified Duration; I will assume Modified) which implies an increase in yield of about 17bp since 9/29 [?] to 5.91%, so the pre-tax interest-equivalent spread (in this context, the “Seniority Spread”) has widened to 340bp from the 330bp reported September 27.

Market Action

September 27, 2023

PerpetualDiscounts now yield 7.08%, equivalent to 9.20% interest at the standard equivalency factor of 1.3x. Long corporates yielded 5.63% on 2023-9-15 [BMO is now reporting a different number for the same date than the one they reported last week … this worries me] and since then the closing price has changed from 14.33 to 13.90, a decrease of 300bp in price, with a Duration of 11.99 [again, different from last week’s report for the same day] (BMO doesn’t specify whether this is Macaulay or Modified Duration; I will assume Modified) which implies an increase in yield of about 25bp since 9/15 [?] to 5.88%, so the pre-tax interest-equivalent spread (in this context, the “Seniority Spread”) has narrowed to 330bp from the 350bp reported September 20.
