Bond Market Risks Signal Caution for Canadian Investors

2026-03-29 — Investment & Market Trends

The typical Canadian portfolio declined by 0.78% over the past day, driven mainly by a 1.80% drop in U.S. equities (VFV.TO) and losses across international and emerging market ETFs (VIU.TO, XEM.TO). Bonds (ZAG.TO) and Canadian equities (VCN.TO) showed smaller declines. Year-to-date, the portfolio is down 2.57%, reflecting growing concerns over economic slowdown risks tied to geopolitical tensions.
