GoCs Outperform Despite Govt Spending Still Growing Strongly

CANADA
  • GoC yields trade 6-7bps lower on the day, holding some outperformance to Tsys through the session.
  • The Can-US yield differential has mostly reversed yesterday’s increase for the front end, but the longer-end still holds onto some of the lift seen after Gravelle’s QT comments [2Y at -49bps, 10Y at -77bps].
  • Latest fiscal data for January showed a deficit of C$2.1bn vs C$0.9bn in Jan’23.
  • Further, fiscal year-to-date cumulative spending is rising at a far faster rate than revenues. Program expenses have increased 6.7% and public debt charges 35.9% vs revenues increasing just 3% (with tax take +1.1% and income taxes just +0.2% owing to declines in corporate tax revenues).
