07:58 AM EDT, 09/16/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Markets are going into Canadian and United States macroeconomic data on Tuesday with a cautious bias and a careful eye toward more important developments in Wednesday's central bank decisions, said Scotiabank.

The U.S. Federal Reserve and the Bank of Canada are scheduled to release their policy decisions on Wednesday.

The US dollar (USD) is softer early Tuesday, noted Scotiabank.

United Kingdom gilts are mildly underperforming other global benchmarks, stated the bank. U.S. equity futures are a touch higher while everyone else is a touch lower.

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.
