Scotiabank Says Key to Tuesday's Inflation Data in Canada Are Core Readings

BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 02/17/26 08:15 AM EST

08:15 AM EST, 02/17/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Canada will update one of two consumer price index readings before the next Bank of Canada decision on March 18 at 8:30 a.m. ET on Tuesday, said Scotiabank.

January's reading is expected to be up by only 0.1% month-over-month non-seasonally adjusted and unchanged at 2.4% year over yeary, noted the bank.

Key will be the various core readings, stated Scotiabank. The bank advises monitoring each of them since they have recently offered conflicting signals. Traditional core CPI that excludes food and energy commodities has picked up and has generally been more resilient of late.

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.
