01:55 PM EDT, 04/10/2026 (MT Newswires) -- In Canada, CIBC says, the release Wednesday of both Manufacturing and Wholesale data for February should confirm the sharp rebounds already signaled by the advance estimates. For Manufacturing Shipments, CIBC is forecasting a 3.5% monthly gain, compared to a consensus 3.8%. For Wholesale Sales ex-petroleum CIBC sees a 2.5% rise.

However, CIBC adds, housing starts figures for March on Friday are likely to show building activity still

tracking a lower level than the 2025 average. CIBC estimates 204k versus a consensus 250k.

Also on the CIBC calendar for next week are the release of Building Permits for February on Monday and then the auction of $3 billion in 30-YR CANADAS on Wednesday and auction of $5.5 billion in 2-YR CANADAS on Thursday.

Thursday will see the release of March Existing Home Sales and Friday will bring February Int'l Security Transactions.

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.
