Fixed income in focus: Navigating rate moves from BoC and Fed – Lee Ormiston
Description
The Bank of Canada and the Federal Reserve have slashed their benchmark rates by a quarter point. It’s the Fed’s first cut of 2025 and the Bank of Canada’s second - a synchronized move that sent North American equities higher at the open. Canadian yields have historically followed U.S. treasuries, but our next guest wonders - is that relationship beginning to shift? Joining today's episode to unpack what the latest rate cuts could mean for tariffs, mortgage rates, and more, is fixed income Portfolio Manager Lee Ormiston.
