BoC Helps Drive Further Wedge Between 2Y and 10Y Can-US Yield Differentials

CANADA
  • 2Y GoCs have held onto most of the 4bp increase on the statement to unwind the prior rally, leaving yields +0.7bp on the day but still within yesterday's whilst awaiting for further cues from BoC's Senior Dep Gov Rogers tomorrow.
  • Underperformance to Tsys at the front end (2Y USTs -3.3bps) helps drive a further gap between 2Y and 10Y yield differentials, potentially as the Canadian hiking cycle is seen to weigh more heavily on growth expectations, reflected by CAD 2s10s of -45bps (moving closer to sustained cycle lows of -55bps) vs US 2s10s of -18bps.
