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.

Eddy Gifford, wealth advisor of TACTIVE, joins BNN Bloomberg to talk about buying long term treasury bonds.
