National Bank Previews Tuesday's CPI Data in Canada

BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 02/17/26 07:39 AM EST

07:39 AM EST, 02/17/2026 (MT Newswires) -- The main macroeconomic event in Canada this week will be the publication of the consumer price Index for January at 8:30 a.m. ET on Tuesday, said National Bank of Canada.

The slight increase in gasoline prices during the month was probably not enough to move the needle, and the headline index likely remained unchanged, noted the bank.

If National Bank is right, the annual rate could move down by one-tenth of a percentage point to 2.3%. The 12-month rate of the CPI-trim may also have fallen, from 2.7% to 2.6%, while the CPI-median rate may have remained unchanged at 2.5%.

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.
