0914 ET - Traders "are truly out of step with reality" by pricing in three interest-rate increases from the Bank of Canada by the end of 2026, says David Rosenberg, economist and head of market-strategy firm Rosenberg Research. "Unless you believe that the best way for the BOC to deal with an exogenous price shock with a near-7% unemployment rate is to detonate the economy (I don't), this tightening-trade is nonsensical," he writes in a note to clients. He says the front end of the Canada yield curve looks appealing, with the possibility of a 6% return within a year. Inflation will climb but its staying power will crumble, Rosenberg predicts, due to the country's weak labor market. (paul.vieira@wsj.com)
