The spike in long-term borrowing costs and heightened market volatility could reduce the likelihood of a soft landing

A woman walks past the Bank of Canada headquarters in Ottawa, June 1, 2022. Yields on long-term Canadian and U.S. government bonds hit 16-year highs on Tuesday, before falling slightly on Wednesday.The months-long rout in global bond markets reached a fever pitch this week, as investors increased their bets that the world economy is entering a new era of stubborn inflation and persistently hawkish central banks.

The sharp repricing in bond markets has been supercharged by several factors impacting bond supply and demand, including a spike in U.S. government bond issuance and a pullback in demand for U.S. debt from Japanese investors. Canadian long-term bonds tend to move alongside U.S. bonds. Abrupt moves in bond markets can also trigger financial stability concerns. This happened in Britain last year when a swing in government bond prices squeezed poorly hedged pension funds and nearly sparked a fire sale in the gilt market.Strong U.S. economic growth and labour-market data in the face of 11 consecutive rate hikes by the Fed, has led many bond traders to discount the likelihood of a recession, and price in fewer rate cuts over the next few years.

“Our view is we’re probably back to the world that we saw from between 1993 to 2007, where when the Bank of Canada or the Fed cut rates, they cut rates to 3 per cent, when they hiked rates, they hiked them up to somewhere between 5 and 6 per cent,” Mr. D’Costa said. Then there’s the question of market timing, said Chris Whelan, senior Canada rates strategist at Toronto Dominion Bank. Many investors appear unwilling to buy bonds, despite their higher rates, until there’s a better sense that yields aren’t moving higher. That assurance can only be provided by weaker economic data, which would reinforce the case that the Fed and the Bank of Canada are done hiking interest rates.
