12:13 PM EDT, 09/10/2025 (MT Newswires) -- The Toronto Stock Exchange is up near 100 points with miners (+1.3%) and energy, up 1.2%, the biggest gainers.

Telecoms, down 1%, is the biggest decliner.

BMO Economics, in its morning note, said the market continues to focus on softer growth and job market conditions ahead, and is fully pricing in (and then some) a 25 bp rate cut by the Federal Reserve on September 17th, with 100 bps of easing through April 2026. The Bank of Canada meeting on the same day is almost fully priced as well, with 50 bps of easing priced in through March 2026. "If so, that would take variable mortgage rates down into the mid-3% range, at which point we'd have to seriously start thinking about the housing market coming back to life."

In stocks, Groupe Dynamite (GRGD.TO) is up near 18% to $48.31, after it reported a second-quarter earnings beat.

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.
