BMO Sees Modest Rebound in Canada Monthly GDP, No Quick Resolution to Trade Talks

07:52 AM EDT, 06/29/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Canada's economy might have "rebounded modestly" in the monthly gross domestic product release for April due out on Tuesday as the week's key data point, BMO Capital Markets said in a note.

"After successive quarterly declines, the economy likely rebounded slightly in Q2 (around 1% annualized)," Senior Economist Sal Guatieri said in the note. "The May flash estimate could point to continued growth given reported advances in retail and manufacturers' sales."

Also on the agenda for this week is a deadline over the Wednesday formal review date for the U.S.-Canada-Mexico trade agreement. "We're not holding our breadth for a quick resolution," the economist said, adding that trilateral talks have yet to begin.

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.
