Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
TD Economics sees firm Q3 US growth (3.5% GDPNow, 3.6% TD) and above-target inflation supporting a second Fed hike, though timing may favor a pause. Falling Treasury yields reflected tech-led equity weakness and softer sentiment, not improved outlook. Housing is squeezed: single-family starts -4.6%, permits -4.0%, pending sales -7.3%. TD calls a Bank of Canada hike on Oct 28 premature, despite markets pricing over 80% odds after Macklem's remarks.

Key arguments
- Firm Q3 growth and above-target inflation make the case for a second Fed hike harder to dismiss; the pause case rests on prudence, not softer data.
- Treasury yields slipping below 5% was a safe-haven move amid weakening sentiment and AI-financing doubts, a pyrrhic relief for borrowers.
- Housing weakness persists: starts and permits fell, pending sales hit a record low, and wide mortgage spreads may slow any pass-through from lower yields.
- TD views a BoC hike on Oct 28 as premature given subdued core pass-through, weak wage and employment growth, and prospective auto tariffs; markets price over 80% odds.
