Can-US Yield Differential Tumbles Further

CANADA
  • GoC outperformance to Tsys has accelerated sharply today, especially at the long end over the past few hours (10YY GoCs +8.5bps, Tsys +17bps) as they fail to keep pace with the bear steepening.
  • Moves on the day potentially muddied at the margin by two new taxes on banks and insurers now having an estimated smaller than expected revenue than projected in April (C$5.27B vs $6.1B) but the net result has been yield differentials sliding further to new Jul-2019 lows (2Y -33bps, 10Y -58bps), with a knock-on impact on USDCAD.
