楓葉債（Maple Bonds）熱潮指外國企業在加拿大發行、以加元計價的債券。過去一直是邊緣市場，近來卻成為跨國企業，尤其是美國企業的熱門融資門路。2025 年首九個月，楓葉債的發行規模已達 163 億加元，不僅超越去年全年，更刷新了歷史紀錄。楓葉債為何突然爆紅？首先，加拿大央行（BoC）比美國更快、更早減息。9 月 17 日，央行基準利率已降至 2.5%，而聯儲仍維持較高水平。息差直接改變了跨國企業的計算——美國公司若在加拿大發債，再透過利率掉期將加元資金換回美元，總成本比在本土融資還便宜。其次，2025年1月1日起，楓葉債正式納入 FTSE Canada Universe Bond Index。這意味著加拿大本土基金若要緊貼基準，必須買入楓葉債。被動資金的機械需求，使得發行市場瞬間「由冷轉熱」。另外，對加拿大機構投資者而言，高質而穩定回報的資產選擇不多，楓葉債亦應運而生。例如今年 6 月，美國的 NextEra Energy 一舉發行 20 億加元楓葉債，成為加拿大史上最大規模的企業楓葉債之一。對加拿大投資人來說，這是世界級信用的加元資產；對 NextEra 而言，則是一次划算的融資操作。另一個例子是 花旗銀行的回歸。沉寂多年後，花旗選擇再度進入加元市場，這不僅是套利，更是戰略性舉動，傳遞出 Maple Bonds 已經具備深度與流動性，不再是臨時性的「副線市場」。但在楓葉債熱潮的背後，整體經濟環境其實是相對惡劣；加拿大央行之所以減息，其中一個原因是經濟數據惡化：就業市場疲弱：7 月與 8 月共流失 10 萬個職位，失業率升至 7.1%。出口暴跌：第二季出口重挫 27%，貿易戰成為主要元兇。PMI 低迷：已連續八個月低於榮枯線，9 月更跌至 47.7。在這樣的背景下，維持低利率幾乎是唯一選擇，與此同時加元匯率亦受壓，加元兌美元徘徊在 1 美元兌 1.39 加元的四個月低位。對美國的債券發行人來說，弱加元帶來更划算的融資與更穩定的掉期成本；對加拿大當局而言，低匯率維持了出口競爭力，甚至吸引美國邊境消費者來加購物。更重要是，加拿大極高槓桿的地產按揭市場對息口極為敏感。所以在可見將來，加拿大有很大機會長期地維持低息和弱加元的情況。但低假以時日，弱加元的寬鬆政策，只會進一步加劇「收入停滯、生活成本上升」的滯脹格局。 This is a public episode.

1222. Un concurso de podcast escolar en Cantabria es la iniciativa que me sirve como excusa perfecta para grabar hoy un episodio expréss. Me he propuesto un reto: contaros algo útil, interesante y que además sirva como ejemplo de audio breve, todo en menos de cinco minutos. Y creo que este capítulo lo cumple a rajatabla. Gracias a un mensaje que compartió Luis, del grupo Quiero ser Podcaster, descubrí una propuesta que me ha parecido muy acertada y que quiero ayudar a difundir: la convocatoria del concurso “Cantabria Segura”, lanzado por la Consejería de Presidencia, Justicia, Seguridad y Simplificación Administrativa del Gobierno de Cantabria.¿Y por qué me parece interesante traerlo al podcast? Porque, además de una categoría de dibujo, han incluido otra centrada en la creación de podcast escolares. Este concurso tiene como objetivo fomentar la cultura preventiva y de autoprotección entre los más pequeños, y me parece una manera brillante de introducir el formato podcast en edades muy tempranas. A veces me encuentro con ideas sobre cómo iniciar en el podcasting a gente joven, o incluso con dudas sobre cómo usar este medio en el aula, y creo que aquí hay una respuesta clara: darles un tema relevante y dejarles libertad para contarlo a su manera.La convocatoria está abierta a estudiantes de primaria en Cantabria: los de 1º, 2º y 3º pueden participar con dibujos, mientras que los de 4º, 5º y 6º deben presentar un podcast con una duración máxima de cinco minutos. Me gusta especialmente que se premie el formato de ficción sonora o la recreación de noticias, porque esto anima a trabajar con guiones, a pensar en cómo contar una historia y, sobre todo, a usar la creatividad para divulgar temas importantes como la prevención ante emergencias.También me ha parecido interesante que el concurso especifique que los guiones deben ser originales y escritos por los propios alumnos, y que los podcast no serán explotados comercialmente. Eso sí, podrán ser difundidos por el propio Gobierno de Cantabria en los canales que estimen oportunos. Todo esto queda recogido en el artículo 4 de la convocatoria publicada en el Boletín Oficial de Cantabria el pasado 10 de septiembre, y lo he leído literalmente en el episodio para que no se me escape nada. Aquí dejo este episodio como muestra. Espero que sirva de inspiración tanto si eres docente, como si conoces a alguien que trabaje en un centro escolar en Cantabria o si simplemente te interesa ver cómo evoluciona el formato podcast desde las nuevas generaciones.Aquí tienes la información proporcionada por la web de Gobierno de Cantabria sobre este concurso de podcast escolar: https://www.cantabria.es/web/comunicados/w/la-consejería-de-presidencia-y-seguridad-convoca-el-concurso-de-dibujo-y-podcast-apos-cantabria-segura-apos-Por otro lado, todos los detalles del certamen están en el BOC del 10 de septiembre: https://boc.cantabria.es/boces/verAnuncioAction.do?idAnuBlob=424339_________________Consigue tu entrada para el directo de 'ComedyCon' el 27 de septiembre en las Podnights Madrid a través de Eventbritehttps://www.eventbrite.es/e/entradas-comedy-con-en-podnights-madrid-1567143762179 _____________ ¡Gracias por pasarte 'Al otro lado del micrófono' un día más para seguir aprendiendo sobre podcasting!

As expected, both the Bank of Canada (the BoC) and the U.S. Federal Reserve cut their overnight interest rates this week, says Philip Petursson, Chief Investment Strategist at IG Wealth Management. The BoC didn't really have a choice, he says, with unemployment at its highest in a decade (apart from during the pandemic) and inflation within targets. But can we expect more cuts in the near future? And how could it all impact your portfolio?

In this episode, Dustin Reid, Chief Fixed Income Strategist, discusses the 25 basis point rate cuts from both the Fed and Bank of Canada – highlighting Fed Chair Jerome Powell's “insurance cut” framing and labour market pressures. He also explores the BoC's outlook amid persistent economic slack. Dustin shares how these developments are shaping the team's positioning, including duration, spreads, and FX, and reflects on the key risks that could test market resilience and global carry strategies in the months ahead.  This episode was recorded on September 17, 2025.

The Fed meets this coming week to decide how much monetary relief the US economy really needs. Group Chief Economist Neil Shearing says that, employment data aside, the evidence argues for fewer rate cuts than markets are pricing in. He talks to David Wilder about the health of the economy, whether the surge in AI investment is making a difference, and previews the Bank of England meeting, where the pace of quantitative tightening may be slowed by a still-febrile bond market. Also on the show, Chief Climate and Commodities Economist David Oxley assesses the oil price outlook in light of the week's geopolitical developments in Qatar and Poland, and ahead of OPEC's 65th anniversary.Analysis and events referenced in this episodeUS economy is doing better than weak payrolls suggestNo more BoE cuts this year, but rates to fall to 3.00% next yearLabour market slump to prompt BoC to resume cutsWeak labour demand forces Fed off the sidelinesThe economic and market impact of AIData: GDP NowcastsOPEC at 65: shifting market dynamics expose frailties

The passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill on July 4th, 2025, coupled with an Executive Order (EO) issued by President Trump on July 7th, have shined a light on certain key requirements impacting eligibility for various renewable tax credits that have existed for a number of years, but which have likely been under most people's radar. The requirements are known as the “Beginning of Construction” or “BOC” requirements.  On this episode of Alternative Power Plays, Buchanan's Alan Seltzer and John Povilaitis welcome Ed Hild, a principal in Buchanan's government relations practice, and Carl Staiger, a shareholder the firm's tax section with a specific focus on energy-related projects.The One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) accelerated the phase-out or termination of tax credits available for most commercial renewable energy projects. As many in the industry know, maintaining eligibility for tax credits has been an important issue for as long as renewable energy tax credits have existed, as the economic viability of many projects have been tied to these credits. During their conversation, the group explores what the changes made in the OBBB and the potential impact of the Executive Order mean for wind and solar developers with a focus on BOC.To learn more about Ed Hild, visit: https://www.bipc.com/edward-hildTo learn more about Carl Staiger, visit: https://www.bipc.com/carl-staigerTo learn more about Alan Seltzer, visit: https://www.bipc.com/alan-seltzerTo learn more about John Povilaitis, visit: ⁠https://www.bipc.com/john-povilaitis

US Treasury Secretary Bessent said he will see US President Trump regarding the China tariff pause on Wednesday and some technical details remain on the China tariff pause, while the China tariff extension decision will be up to Trump and if he does not approve tariff pause extension, tariffs on Chinese goods would 'boomerang' back to April 2nd levels, or another level that he chooses.US President Trump said Chinese President Xi wants to meet and he thinks it will happen before the end of the year, while he stated that they will either approve the trade extension or not. Chinese Vice Commerce Minister Li said the US and China have agreed to extend the trade truce; Bessent said China jumped the gun a little on the 90-day pause.Crude futures surged yesterday amid comments from US President Trump who confirmed changing the deadline for Russia to reach a Ukraine ceasefire agreement to 10 days, while there were simultaneous comments from Treasury Secretary Bessent who told Chinese officials that China could face high tariffs if it continues to purchase sanctioned Russian oil due to US secondary tariff legislation.APAC stocks traded mixed following the subdued handover from Wall St; European equity futures indicate a mildly positive cash market open with Euro Stoxx 50 futures up 0.3% after the cash market closed with gains of 0.8% on Tuesday.Looking ahead, highlights include French GDP, Spanish CPI, German GDP & Retail Sales, Italian GDP, ECB Wage Tracker, EZ GDP & Sentiment, US ADP National Employment, GDP Advance (Q2), PCE (Q2), Fed, BoC, BCB Policy Announcements Speakers including Fed Chair Powell, BoC's Macklem & Rogers, Supply from Italy, US Quarterly Treasury Refunding Announcement.Earnings from Hermes, Airbus, Vinci, Danone, Capgemini, HSBC, GSK, Aston Martin, Santander, Caixabank, Telefonica, Intesa Sanpaolo, Leonardo, Mercedes Benz, Siemens Healthineers, BASF, Adidas, Porsche AG, Meta, Microsoft, RobinHood, Carvana, Lam Research, Qualcomm, Ford, Arm, eBay, FMC, Vertiv, Altria, Kraft Heinz, GE Healthcare & VF Corp.Read the full report covering Equities, Forex, Fixed Income, Commodites and more on Newsquawk

With trade deal announcements in full swing, global business leaders are pouring over whatever details can be found to show the emerging architecture of America's new trade connections. This week looks to major central banks in Canada and the U.S for decisions about whether to cut or hold interest rates, as well as for commentary from the BoC and the Fed on how to thread the needle between 'overly restrictive' and 'fighting future inflation'. For the economies of these two neighbours, it is a tale of two very different cities. Joining the show today to help set these moving parts into an investment thesis, while explaining the more evident fiscal dominance in markets, is Fidelity Director of Global Macro, Jurrien Timmer.

This week in Canadian real estate, we saw a rare move toward improving housing affordability—but is it too little, too late?The federal government has announced a GST rebate for first-time home buyers purchasing new homes valued up to $1.5 million. Homes under $1 million will be eligible for a full GST rebate—as much as $50,000—while homes between $1 million and $1.5 million receive a partial rebate. The government claims this will help reduce upfront costs for young Canadians and spur new housing construction. But when you consider that only 10–20% of Canada's roughly 300,000 annual first-time buyers purchase new homes, this measure will actually benefit just 30,000 to 60,000 people nationwide. A step in the right direction? Yes. A scalable solution to affordability? Probably not.And while tax relief is welcome, the bigger issue continues to loom: the soaring cost of construction. Since 2017, Canada's Building Construction Price Index has jumped 90%, nearly doubling costs in just eight years—largely driven by pandemic-era supply chain shocks and inflation. This means even with incentives, developers are unlikely to hit federal housing targets, and pre-sale markets will remain fragile as margins thin and feasibility erodes.We also take a deep dive into Canada's residential mortgage debt, which now totals over $2.42 trillion—including $2.07 trillion in mortgages and $350 billion in HELOCs. That's nearly $370,000 in average mortgage debt across the 6.5 million homes with outstanding loans. With an average amortization of 20 years and today's fixed rates around 4.14%, the average monthly mortgage payment comes in at $2,256. That's barely more than Canada's average rent of $2,109, showing how thin the line between renting and owning has become for many households.Meanwhile in the U.S., delinquency rates on car loans have hit record highs—over 6.5% of borrowers are now more than 60 days behind. It's a stark indicator of mounting financial stress, and one that could spill over into the broader economy, potentially triggering interest rate cuts and even recessionary pressure stateside. A U.S. slowdown almost always influences Canada, especially when it comes to monetary policy.We also zoom out and look at G7 home price trends, and the results are jaw-dropping. Since 1985, Canada leads the G7 in inflation-adjusted home price appreciation—up 360%. That's even after an 18% national correction from peak pricing. For comparison, the UK is up 340%, the U.S. 220%, while Japan's prices have actually fallen 30%. The data paints a picture of just how extreme Canada's housing market has become over time—and how hard it may be to “normalize.”And finally, we preview next week's Bank of Canada interest rate decision. As of May 26th, odds are now sitting at 70% that there will be no cut, despite growing calls for relief. With inflation data holding steady and economic signals mixed, the BoC remains cautious.In our mini market update: Vancouver has just crossed 18,000 active listings—the most in 12 years—while May sales are on track to be the lowest ever recorded for the month, even as prices spike. Median prices are now within 1% of all-time highs, and average prices are up over $50,000 in just 30 days. It's a paradoxical moment: high supply, low sales, rising prices. Welcome to 2025. _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

Send us a textParsonage-Turner Syndrome can mimic several other shoulder conditions, leading to misdiagnosis and ineffective treatment if not properly identified and differentiated.• PTS typically presents with sudden onset of severe shoulder pain lasting 2-3 weeks, often triggered by viruses or vaccinations• Common symptoms include limited active and passive range of motion, weakness, atrophy (especially in deltoids), and sometimes altered sensation• Rotator cuff tears differ by having better passive than active motion and usually having a clear mechanism of injury• Cervical nerve root compression can be distinguished by performing Spurling's test and gentle cervical traction• Adhesive capsulitis has a slower onset than PTS and typically doesn't cause the significant atrophy seen in PTS cases• Diagnostic imaging should be used after thorough clinical examination to confirm suspected diagnosis• EMG/nerve conduction studies are most helpful for confirming PTS after 3-4 weeks of symptoms• Always check for skin changes like pustules or rashes that might indicate shingles, which can cause brachial neuritisJoin us for our upcoming live course on May 31st, 2025 where we'll cover more differential diagnoses like these.
