  • 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.
