Futures tracking Canadian stocks edged higher on Wednesday ahead of the Bank of Canada’s interest-rate decision.

Canadian bond yields eased slightly after a global selloff in the previous session, as elevated oil prices and concerns over government debt in the US and other major economies pushed global yields to multi-month highs. Employment reports from Canada and the US due later this week could further shape monetary policy expectations.
