-- The often-overlooked Canadian high-yield debt market is having a moment, as companies pile in to sell debt and investors look to lock in coupons before central bank monetary policy easing takes hold.Spurred by relatively cheap funding, companies have raised around C$4.7 billion through non-investment-grade debt sales so far this year, the second fastest pace of issuance since at least 2017, according to data from National Bank of Canada and Bloomberg.

Canada’s junk bond market is a small world — issuance for the year is still only about 1.5% the size of its southern neighbor even with the recent growth, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Videotron’s exit sent its bond holders scrambling for replacements, creating an opportunity for new and existing issuers, according to Sean St. John, an executive vice president and managing director at National Bank Financial.

For buyers, the enthusiasm comes from expectations that interest rates have peaked and the time to lock in yield is now, according to Brown and MacDonald. The Bank of Canada has cut interest rates three times since June to 4.25%, while cooling inflation is paving the way for even deeper cuts. Yet another factor that makes it a perfect storm for high yield issuance is the robust fund flows into fixed income, which has led to strong appetite for new issues, according to St. John.
