Weekly intelligence
This week in 60 seconds
Fixed Income
Canada's 10Y edged up 1bp to 3.62% while the US 10Y fell 6bps to 4.63% as softer July CPI pared Fed hike pricing from 27bps to just 10bps for September; the BoC sits comfortably on hold with a newly flagged 2027 hike risk.
Equities
The VIX at 14.63 sits inside the low-volatility regime (sub-15) and the 10Y-2Y spread is a positive, non-inverted 0.51%, a combination consistent with a risk-on backdrop, though this week's live institutional sector research could not be independently verified and is therefore not reflected below.
Alternatives
Private credit and infrastructure keep absorbing fresh institutional capital while core buyout fundraising remains stuck in a multi-year distribution drought; exits and IPOs are the swing factor to watch.
