Canada long-term bond auction clears at highest yield since pre-GFC period

Canada's latest long-term government bond auction reportedly cleared at its highest interest rate since the period leading into the Global Financial Crisis.
The elevated auction yield highlights the repricing occurring across long-duration sovereign debt as investors demand greater compensation for inflation, fiscal and interest-rate risks.
Higher yields translate into lower bond prices and increase long-term financing costs, keeping pressure on duration-sensitive assets.
