CANADA: Overnight Funding Pressures Ease Again
CANADA
- Overnight funding market pressures have cooled in recent sessions, with the latest CORRA fix back to 3bps above the overnight policy rate having lifted to 6bps on Thursday.
- BoC overnight repo operations continue in size to help alleviate broader pressure, mostly running at a daily C$16bn since Jul 23.
- BoC staff research published yesterday estimates that the shift from t+2 to t+1 settlement for trading GoC bonds on May 27 has pushed spreads up to 3bps higher, with their analysis showing observations up to Jul 15, 2024.
