08:46 AM EDT, 06/23/2025 (MT Newswires) -- RBC said it expects Canadian consumer price index growth to edge up 1.8% year over year in May from April's 1.7%, with the excluding food and energy price growth holding steady at 2.6% year over year.

Canada will publish May's CPI on Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. ET.

The removal of the consumer carbon tax in April in most provinces will continue to keep energy prices well below levels from a year ago, stated the bank.

The Bank of Canada's preferred core measures -- which exclude indirect taxes like the carbon tax -- likely eased slightly after exceeding 3% year over year in April, aded RBC.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
