Backloaded Rally In CAD Rates

CANADA
  • 10s may be leading the GoC rally on the day but the front end has still seen a decent -6bp decline.
  • The latter’s dynamics are supported in rates markets, with BAX futures rallying 4 ticks for the front Sep’23, 6 ticks for the Dec’24 and building to 8.5 ticks through mid-2024.
  • The upshot is that implied yields for 2H23 are now ~10bps lower than after the BoC Jun 7 hike (i.e. unwinding half of the then sell-off) and marginally lower for all 2024 contracts as well. The BAU3/Z4 spread widens back to -95bps although remains tight relative to recent months.
  • In the near-term, OIS rates imply a 15-16bp hike for the Jul 12 decision, down from 17bp pre CPI, but still with the BoC surveys and monthly GDP this Fri before the employment report the following Fri.
