BAX Rally Builds On US CPI-Led Drive

CANADA
  • BAX futures see small gains for near-term contracts but increasingly large rallies further into 2024, with contracts holding at or near session highs.
  • The Jun’24 implied yield for instance is 9.5bps lower on the day for a cumulative -14bps since just before BoC hiked 25bps with a hawkish leaning statement. An equally large move before that on soft US CPI has meant the yield sits more than 25bp lower since Tuesday’s close. This builds to a 35bp decline for the Dec’24.
  • The BAX Sep-Dec’23 spread is now flat again vs +6.5bp late Tuesday. Far more notably, the Sep’23-Dec’24 has widened to -98bps from -65bps, although still compares with -105bps seen after the BoC hiked in June, such was the trimming of inversion in the second half of June.
  • Looking to the September decision, BoC-dated OIS suggests around 1/3 probability of a 25bp hike but there is plenty of data before then.
