Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
TD Economics' October 9, 2026 weekly review flags the September CPI report (Oct 14) as the key event, with consensus at 3.6% y/y headline and 2.5% y/y core. Oil traded in a $88-93/bbl WTI range as markets weighed Hormuz flows, Middle East tensions and Hurricane Isaias shutdowns of 1.3 mn bpd. Healthy 10- and 30-year Treasury auctions eased term-premium pressure, but services prices paid hit a July 2022 high. Canada's employment fell 68.3k, lifting unemployment to 6.5%; TD expects the BoC to hold on October 28.

Key arguments
- September CPI is the pivotal data point; a mild core reading would reinforce a Fed hold, while a material upside surprise could put the month-end meeting back in play for a hike with the FOMC bias cautiously hawkish.
- The recent rise in U.S. Treasury yields since the September Fed meeting has been driven mainly by term premium, and healthy 10- and 30-year auctions helped alleviate that pressure.
- Oil prices oscillated on conflicting signals: improved Strait of Hormuz flows, Middle East geopolitical uncertainty, and Hurricane Isaias shutdowns of about 1.3 million bpd.
- For Canada, August trade strength should modestly support Q3 GDP, but tariff front-running implies softer flows ahead; TD expects the BoC to hold on October 28, contingent on CPI.

Main risks
- A material upside surprise in September CPI could revive the case for a near-term Fed hike.
- Persistently higher energy prices and tariff increases are upside inflation risks; a broader pickup in core prices could revive BoC tightening expectations.
- Tariffs, countermeasures and U.S. import restrictions are expected to weigh on cross-border trade flows through year-end.
