Line chart showing the Government of Canada 10-year bond yield climbing to a two-year high of 3.94 percent.

The Government of Canada 10-year yield closed at a two-year high after retaliatory tariffs on $20 billion of American goods took effect earlier in September, adding a domestic inflation channel on top of an oil price shock from the Strait of Hormuz conflict. Investors have demanded a larger premium for holding Canadian government debt as both pressures build at once. The move mirrors a similar climb in US Treasury yields heading into that country's own rate decision.
