Low Rates Likely to Linger For Years

Avery Shenfeld, Managing Director and Chief Economist of CIBC

Every week we force ourselves to acknowledge the low interest rate environment that currently prevails.

The historically low interest rates have a significant impact on the performance of all other asset classes from bonds to equities and to real estate. Compounding this, expectations for this low interest rate environment will exist through to 2023.

CDA Govt USD Treasuries

90 day 0.10bps 0.10bps

5 year 0.37bps 0.31bps
10 year 0.62bps 0.73bps
30 year 1.23bps 1.52bps

These historically low interest rates have a significant impact on the performance of all other asset classes from bonds, to equities and to real estate. Compounding this, expectations are for this low interest rate environment to exist though 2023.
