TD Cowen: Policy Divergence Between FED and Bank of Canada Impacts Canadian Yields
What happened
TD Cowen released a list of top Canadian stock picks, noting the policy divergence between the Bank of Canada and the Federal Reserve as a major macroeconomic influence. The Bank of Canada is currently on hold, while the Federal Reserve is expected to raise rates further. This difference suggests Canadian bond yields will be much lower than those in the U.S.

Why it matters
The differing monetary policies are expected to put pressure on the Canadian dollar as foreign investment seeks higher yields elsewhere. This trend also reflects slower domestic growth in Canada, with manufacturing output down 1% and employment down 1.4 percentage points from the end of 2024.
