12:16 PM EST, 01/26/2026 (MT Newswires) -- The Canadian gross domestic product for November will be released on Friday at 8:30 a.m. ET, said National Bank of Canada.

The release of the November GDP data will be "closely watched," noted the bank.

Based on the industry-level reports that have been released so far, it is likely that economic output grew by 0.1% month over month, led by expansions in retail trade, educational services, construction, and transportation and warehousing, stated National Bank.

These gains may have been partially offset by contractions in wholesale trade, manufacturing, and mining, quarrying, and oil and natural-gas extraction, it added.

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.
