Q1 2026 Fund Commentary
Commentary and opinions are provided by Mackenzie Investments.
Market commentary
Canada’s economy navigated a challenging first quarter as trade uncertainty continued to weigh on business confidence and manufacturing activity. Employment fell in January and February before stabilizing in March, and the unemployment rate held steady at 6.7%. The outbreak of the conflict in the Middle East in late February added another layer of uncertainty, driving energy prices sharply higher and raising concerns about global inflation.
Monetary policy remained on hold in both Canada and the U.S. throughout the quarter. The Bank of Canada held its policy rate at 2.25% at both its January and March meetings, and the U.S. Federal Reserve Board maintained the federal funds rate at 3.50%–3.75% at the same meetings. Canada’s unemployment rate was 6.7% in March, and the U.S. rate was 4.3%.
The Canadian fixed income market delivered mixed results in the first quarter as geopolitical uncertainty and rising oil prices complicated the investment landscape. The yield on the 10-year Government of Canada bond rose from 3.43% at the start of the quarter to 3.47% by quarter-end, reaching a high of 3.58%, putting downward pressure on government bond prices, particularly late in the quarter. Corporate bonds showed resiliency, but underperformed government bonds with credit spreads widening slightly.
North American equity markets diverged. Canadian equities rose about 4% as the energy sector surged on higher oil prices, with materials also contributing because of record gold prices early in the quarter. U.S. equities declined, with the S&P 500 Index falling about 4.4% as large-cap technology stocks led the retreat amid rising inflation concerns. The energy sector was a bright spot in the U.S. market as well, while smaller-capitalization and defensive companies outperformed the broad index.
