Portfolio Managers Sri Tella and Lee Ormiston join the show today for a look at the factors influencing the bond market landscape. Sri and Lee note that Canada's recent inflation rate slowdown, coupled with global economic trends, is influencing discussions about potential rate cuts by the Bank of Canada, and explore the broader implications for bond market dynamics. The conversation covers various factors affecting bond markets, including the housing market's response to rate changes, provincial bonds' attractiveness for investment, and Sri and Lee provide insights into different sectors like financials, telecom, and real estate. They also touch on their perspectives on the yield curve, inflation expectations, and the possible pace of rate cuts by the bank of Canada, as well as the implications for the Canadian dollar and the broader economy, emphasizing the importance of considering market signals and economic data before making decisions.    Recorded on May 29th, 2024.   At Fidelity, our mission is to build a better future for Canadian investors and help them stay ahead.
