Sentiment

Oil declined as the anticipated ground assault of Gaza by Israel was tempered by a decline in broader financial markets and lower real-world pricing.

One day after Governor Tiff Macklem and his team reduced the GDP projection, markets are beginning to accept that the Bank of Canada will have to start lowering rates by late next year.

The increase in longer-term bond yields in recent months, according to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, is a result of the robust US economy rather than a rise in government borrowing brought on by an expanding budget deficit.
