The USA & Canada Intelligence Brief for August 11 reveals a shift in the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision, four days after weak job data had all but removed the possibility of a rate hike. Despite the initial drop in yields, an oil rally revived expectations of a September rate rise. The ten-year Treasury yield rose above 4.72% overnight, while the thirty-year yield sits above 5%.
Brent crude traded around 88 dollars a barrel, with the Canadian dollar holding near a two-month high against the American dollar. The Canadian ten-year yields sit near 3.68%, reflecting the impact of the oil price on Canadian exports. Investors are cautious and holding positions rather than adding to them, as they await the outcome of a potentially contentious tariff on August 19.
