Line chart showing Canada's 10-year government bond yield climbing to a two-year high after new retaliatory tariffs took effect.

The Government of Canada 10-year yield closed at a two-year high Tuesday, and the move traces to the day's retaliatory tariff order rather than to the Iran-linked oil shock running at the same time. The tariffs raise a durable, domestic inflation pressure the Bank of Canada has to weigh, unlike a single day's spike in crude. Neither a dovish Fed comment nor a 41,700-job employment miss earlier in the summer moved the yield this much, underscoring how narrowly trade policy, not geopolitics, is driving the curve right now.
