Judging by the data on building permits, the latter could have increased to 260,000 in annualized terms, led by the multi-unit segment, noted the bank.

Existing home sales on Thursday, for their part, may have edged up 0.7% month over month nationally in the third month of the year, boosted by stronger sales in Toronto and Vancouver, stated National Bank.

In other news, manufacturing sales may have expanded 3.8% month over month in February, on increases in the food and transportation equipment subsectors. The data will be published on Wednesday

Wholesale trade sales for February are also slated to be released on Wednesday.

All Fixed Income News

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.
