Rules-based reading
A transparent, rules-based reading of the facts on this page. Each badge traces to a published rule and to the metrics shown. Reporting, not advice.
- Trend: Above all moving averages
- Level: Mid-range by its own history
- Volatility: Normal
- 52-week position: High in range
- RSI: Neutral
What these badges mean
- Trend
- The yield is above its 20-, 50- and 200-day moving averages. A position versus trend, not a direction to trade.
- Level
- The current yield is at the 76th percentile of this tenor's history since 2001. A level versus its own history — not itself high or low value, and not a direction.
- Volatility
- 20-day realised yield volatility at the 73rd percentile of its own history since 2001. Higher = larger daily yield swings; a magnitude, not a direction.
- 52-week position
- The yield is at 93.3% of its 52-week range. A position within the range — not itself high or low value, and not a direction.
- RSI
- RSI(14) on the yield series is 60.70. Readings of 70 and above are stretched high (the yield has risen faster than it has fallen recently), below 30 stretched low (the reverse), and between them neutral. A momentum reading, not a recommendation.
Source and history
Source: Bank of Canada, Government of Canada benchmark bond yields. The yields are the Bank’s mid-market closing yields of selected benchmark bonds; every indicator on this page (changes, moving averages, ranges, volatility, RSI and their percentiles) is computed by mercatusdata from them, not by the Bank, and the Bank does not endorse this page.
Each tenor follows one benchmark bond at a time, and the Bank moves the tenor to a newer bond from time to time, so a single day’s change can include that switch as well as the market’s move.
