BMO on The Day Ahead in Canada

07:21 AM EDT, 09/26/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Canada will release the gross domestic product for July and provide the advance estimate for August at 8:30 a.m. ET on Friday, said Bank of Montreal (BMO).

Canadian real GDP for July is expected to rebound 0.1% month over o nth after three straight monthly declines stemming from the trade war's hit to exports and investment, noted the bank. Reuters' consensus is the same.

The advance estimate for August will also determine whether the economy avoided a technical recession, as BMO anticipates. There were encouraging gains in work hours, retail sales, and home sales in the month, though also a sharp drop in factory shipments and auto production.

Other releases include the advance Canadian wholesale trade figures for August at 8:30 a.m. ET and the federal government July budget numbers, added the bank.

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.
