Q2 business and consumer sentiment was weak in recent Bank of Canada surveys.
The Canadian economy has slowed to a snail’s pace likely opening the door to a 2nd rate cut later this month.
June inflation data is out tomorrow, which will likely be the determining factor as to whether Canada’s central bank cuts its benchmark rate again.
Canada aims to reach net zero inflation!

Who's buying all these Canadian bonds?
reply
I have no idea. I think the bank of Canada still owns a crap ton of them from Covid but they aren’t buying anymore so I am assuming mostly Canadian financial institutions.

Are they not aware that productive countries also sell bonds?
reply
Shhhh productive is hate speech in Canada.

What an interesting spot Canada is in! Housing is completely unaffordable but they are positioned to cut rates to near 0. Crazy to think about!
reply
Indeed.

C'mon! Canada does not need any rate cuts, your neighbour needs many! US isn't making any rate cuts will prove a bad decision. Just wait a little

It would be really surprising to see lower inflation, my take is next September for the cut.
