Quotes on Canada’s 5-year government bond yield are no longer displayed on Bloomberg.com.
Since bond yields usually precede changes in fixed mortgage rates, Bloomberg’s 5-year yield page has been a useful tool for mortgage observers. That is, until today.
Apparently, the company feels it will earn more by keeping this data proprietary to its $1,500+ per month data terminal service.
Fortunately, for you bond watchers in the crowd, there are other providers of free yield data, including:
CanDeal (intraday yield quotes)- Investing.com (5-year yield charts)
- PC Bond (Canadian yield curve)
- Bank of Canada (historical yield data)
