Canada Doesn't Really Matter. Bring on CPI and The Fed

The day began with a hunt for the mystery market mover behind the 8:30am spike in Treasury yields.  Once it was revealed to be Canada's jobs report, US traders could only laugh as the two Canadian events that had a visible impact on the US bond market this decade happened only 2 days apart, and all on a week with Canadian wildfires already very much in focus in New York. While it's true these events mattered on this week's small scale, the market is infinitely more interested in next week's CPI and Fed Announcement.
