New Recent Lows For Can-US Yield Differentials

CANADA
  • Strong US retail sales and disappointing Canadian mfg/wholesale sales data has pushed Can-US yield differentials to new recent lows ahead of both CAD CPI and the Budget tomorrow.
  • Differentials: 2Y -73.5bps, 5Y -88bps and 10Y -88bps (all down 1-1.5bps since the data).
  • Little change in near-term rate expectations though, June still showing 13-14bps of cumulative cuts, buoyed by Wednesday’s US CPI strength.
