Abstract

 This presentation, and corresponding research paper, serves to analyze the impact of Central Bank policy and operations on financial markets in the United States and Canada during the period of Summer 2008 to present day. Research is primarily focused on the effects of monetary stimulus and the setting of Central Bank policy rates and how these two tools impacted the market for fixed income financial instruments. The presentation analyzes the decisions made by borrowers of capital, primarily institutions and governments, given the unprecedented macroeconomic environment experienced during this period. To complement this research and provide a thorough analysis of the effects of Central Bank policy, the presentation analyzes other asset classes and provides insight into the impact of Canadian and U.S. Central Bank actions globally. In doing this, the presentation will provide a more complete picture of how Central Bank actions during this period impacted not only North American economies but also the effects experienced by investors across geopolitical and asset class divisions.
