Canada's 2-Year Bond Yield Reaches New Low

In a recent financial update, Canada's 2-year government bond yield has plummeted to its lowest level since May 2022, marking a significant moment in the country's economic landscape.

US Tariffs Spark Global Market Concerns

The decline follows the imposition of import tariffs by United States President Donald Trump on Canada and Mexico. This move has not only strained relations between these neighboring countries but also sent ripples through global markets, as investors express concerns over the potential economic fallout.

Retaliatory Measures and Market Reactions

In response to the tariffs, both Canada and Mexico have vowed to implement retaliatory measures, further escalating trade tensions. The financial markets have reacted with noticeable volatility, with the yield on the 2-year note dropping by 10.7 points to 2.543%. Meanwhile, the 10-year note's yield remained steady at 3.064%, and the 30-year bond yield decreased by 9.1 points to 3.147%.
