    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    In some ways this is the weirdest time for the Federal Reserve to start a tightening cycle. And, as folks fall all over themselves to put more rate hikes into their forecasts, we are looking at an economy featuring consumers who are in a bad mood and who are losing confidence in the job market even though the unemployment rate remains low.

    Canadian Economy Continues to Grow, But Trade Policy Pantomime Poses Risks (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Roundup: US Data and The Rates Backdrop (opens the original)

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    US data today gave pretty positive signals about capital goods investment, while Treasury yields (10-year and 30-year TIPS) neared critical thresholds. The 10-year Treasury yield is pretty close to the long-term growth rate of nominal GDP, so it might be somewhat “normal,” and not something to panic over. ... Not just Canada is reader-supported.
