Scotiabank Previews Monday's Producer Prices in Canada

06:52 AM EDT, 10/20/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Canada will publish the September industrial producer price index (IPPI) and the raw materials price index (RMPI) at 8:30 a.m. ET on Monday, said Scotiabank.

Producer prices are an indirect possible measure of ultimate consumer price inflation that the Bank of Canada is mandated to manage at 2% over the medium term, noted Scotiabank.

Seasonally unadjusted industrial product prices have been rising more quickly than normal over the past three months to August with prices up 4% year over year and on a two-year upswing with September's figures coming on Monday, stated the bank. Excluding energy, industrial prices are up by almost 5% year over year and led by metal products (20.5% year over year) and a broad array of other prices at lower rates of increase.

Scotiabank expect this to continue on a trend basis, but key is pass through to consumer prices which is highly uncertain and quite limited to date.

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.
