Five-year Canada yields were down to 4.28%.
Major U.S. and Canadian stock indexes ended sharply lower on Friday, with technology and financial shares among the biggest drags, as investors worried about high interest rates and the Israel-Hamas conflict spreading. The selloff came even as bond yields eased after their steady march higher this week.
All of the S&P 500 index’s 11 sectors fell in broad-based selling. Losses were also broad in Toronto, where financials lost nearly 2% and the S&P/TSX composite index fell to its lowest level in two weeks.
The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield fell on Friday, a day after crossing 5% for the first time since July 2007 in the wake of comments by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. He said the U.S. economy’s strength and tight labour markets could require tougher borrowing conditions to control inflation.
…
Echoing some of Powell’s more dovish remarks, Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta President Raphael Bostic said on CNBC Friday that while inflation remains too high it is coming down amid rising evidence of growth slowing that could open the door to easier monetary policy late next year.Fed funds futures show bets that the Fed will hike rates once more this year continue to decline. A November hike was almost completely priced out, while a 25 basis points hike in December had a 24% probability, down from 39% on Wednesday, CME Group data showed. The consensus among futures traders remained for a first rate cut to happen in June.
Traders have also started to price in higher odds that the Bank of Canada will start cutting interest rates next year. Implied probabilities in interest rate swaps suggest only a slight 12% chance the Bank of Canada will hike interest rates again when it announces its latest decision next week. And by December 2024, traders are pricing in about a 50% chance the central bank’s overnight rate would be lower than where it is today.
…
The TSX ended down 233.17 points, or 1.2%, at 19,115.64, its lowest closing level since Oct. 4. For the week, the index was down 1.8%.Financials hit a one-year low, while energy was down 1.5% as oil settled 0.7% lower at US$88.75 a barrel, giving back some of this week’s gains. Together, financials and energy account for nearly 50% of the TSX’s weighting.
The interest-rate sensitive utilities and real estate sectors also lost ground, falling 1.7% and 1.6% respectively.
In the U.S., the S&P 500 financial index was down 1.6% while the KBW regional banking index fell 3.5%. Shares of Regions Financial slid 12.4% after its profit missed analysts’ average estimate.
