⑴ UK government bonds continued to decline after the Bank of England kept interest rates unchanged at 3.75% and stated it would be ready to take action at any time if inflation risks rise. The yield on two-year UK government bonds rose by 6 basis points to 4.20%. ⑵ The pound fell 0.5% to 1.322, extending its earlier decline.

Bank of Canada Issues Strongest Stagflation Warning: Tariffs May Push Q4 Growth Below 1%, High Oil Prices Intensify Inflation

Bank of Canada Governor Macklem stated on Monday that a new round of U.S. tariffs could halve Canada’s fourth-quarter economic growth, dropping it below 1%, while annual inflation will remain at 3%, exceeding the 2% target. He added that if oil prices continue to hover around $100 per barrel, prices could be pushed even higher. Macklem said that if inflation is manageable, he does not want to raise interest rates; however, if inflation exceeds expectations, he also does not want to react too slowly.
