CIBC On the Week Ahead In Economics

BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 02:29 PM EDT

02:29 PM EDT, 03/27/2026 (MT Newswires) -- CIBC says it comes in a bit weaker in seeing a 0.1% decline in January GDP on Tuesday, versus a consensus forecast of 0.1%.

The Bank of Canada's summary of deliberations on Wednesday is seen by CIBC as an opportunity for Governor Tiff Macklem to "tilt market pricing". "But like the FOMC members," CIBC's Avery Shenfeld says, "those at Canada's central bank are themselves too uncertain about what lies ahead to lecture the market about what could, or couldn't, be in the cards for policy rates ahead."

Also on the CIBC calendar for next week -- a holiday shortened one given Good Friday -- is an auction of $5.5 billion in 2-YR CANDADS on Wednesday. February trade data is due out Thursday, with CIBC in line with consensus in forecasting a deficit of $1.8 billion.

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.
