08:28 AM EDT, 09/15/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Scotiabank said it has more evidence of traction on the interest sensitives in Canada in a lagging response to rate cuts after the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) released August's data on Monday.

Canada registered a fourth consecutive monthly gain in seasonally adjusted existing home sales during August (+1.1% month-over-month SA). New listings were up 2.6% month-over-month SA.

The sales-to-new-listings ratio fell to 51.2%. Months supply fell to 4.4 for the lowest since January and remains below the long-term average of about 5.0 months, which places the market roughly in balanced territory, stated the bank.

Prices were little changed (-0.1% m/m SA) but down 3.4% y/y.

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.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
