Does US or Canadian Macro News Drive Canadian Bond Yields?

Staff analytical note 2018-38 Bruno Feunou, Rodrigo Sekkel, Morvan Nongni-Donfack

Furthermore, we show that US macro news—not domestic news— explains most of the quarterly variation in Canadian bond yields.

Minor pricing responses by financial institutions and payment service providers further reduce the impact of a CBDC.
