Five-year Canada yields were down to 3.88%.
Gains – particularly in equities – have been attributed to a hope that policy rates have peaked:
The Labor Department’s report showed the August unemployment rate rose to 3.8% while wage growth slowed. Nonfarm payrolls rose more than expected, though data for July was revised lower to 157,000 job additions.
The data added to recent macroeconomic evidence that the Federal Reserve is winning its battle against inflation, and it cemented expectations the central bank is near the end of its interest rate hiking cycle.
…
Interest rate futures suggest traders see a 93% chance the Fed will keep interest rates unchanged at its meeting later this month, according to CME’s FedWatch tool.
… while in Canada, GDP numbers disappointed:
Canada’s economy unexpectedly contracted in the second quarter at an annualized rate of 0.2%, while real GDP was most likely unchanged in July after a 0.2% fall in June, Statistics Canada said.
The second-quarter reading was far lower than the Bank of Canada’s forecast for a 1.5% annualized GDP growth as well as the 1.2% gain expected by analysts.
The quarterly slowdown was largely due to declines in housing investment, smaller inventory accumulation, as well as slower international exports and household spending, Statistics Canada said.
The month-over-month decline in June was in line with forecasts. Statscan also downwardly revised May GDP growth to a 0.2% increase from an initial report of 0.3% growth. First-quarter annualized growth rate was also downwardly revised to 2.6% from 3.1%.
