• CIBC write on the “meaningful” repricing in the Canadian front-end over the holiday season, with terminal rate expectations declining nearly 30bps to just below 2.75%, the mid-point of the Bank’s estimated neutral rate range.
• “But even with front-end levels now looking more consistent with our own expectation for the Bank, the distribution getting to that end-point looks unrealistic. For example, markets expect the Bank to reach this policy level by the middle of 2026, with no attendant curvature to speak of”
• When BoC terminal is priced in either 1y1y or 2y1y vs FOMC terminal pricing in 3y1y, they see two implications: “CAD steepeners versus U.S. flatteners have a small ‘window’ for success, and that window is now – our favourite expression of this dynamic is the 5s10s box.”
• “Once we get deeper into Q1 and through the inauguration, we see more risk that Fed pricing is pulled forward. To eventually fade cross-market richness we like being short CAD 2s versus U.S. 5s, but will need to get past the January BoC meeting.”

Surge in corporate issuance expected as dearth of December supply works through backlog.
