There's a case to argue that peak tariff headlines negativity is behind for Canada and that can be associated with improved fortunes for the currency. In this episode of FX Moment, BI's Chief G10 FX Strategist Audrey Childe-Freeman talks to Jeremy Stretch, Chief International Strategist at CIBC World Markets, about Canada's economic and political dynamics, for a Canadian dollar focus episode. The Bank of Canada will probably end up being more dovish than expected in 2025, but it isn't alone and combined with more expansionary yet credible fiscal dynamics under Mark Carney's leadership, that should all help the growth narrative and the currency. Jeremy and Audrey also discuss the longer-term increased Canadian dollar appeal in a context of de-dollarization and global reserves diversification strategies.
Philip Petursson, Chief Investment Strategist at IG Wealth Management discusses the unexpected strengthening of the Canadian dollar. He explores the conflicting narratives driving this trend, from the U.S. Federal Reserve's potential rate cuts to the broader implications of U.S. political policies, and what it all means for investors.

For all his threats, U.S. president Donald Trump still has not imposed tariffs on Canadian goods covered by the Canada-US-Mexico trade deal, with the exception of steel and aluminum tariffs imposed today. In fact, he has delayed the start date of tariffs on Canada and Mexico twice. The economy is already being battered by uncertainty around tariffs. Will there be another delay? How long will tariffs last if and when they're imposed? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the Global Thinking Podcast Rob Duncan sits down with Forstrong's CEO & CIO, Tyler Mordy, to unpack the evolving market landscape and the unmistakable “vibe shift” happening in global markets. The once-unstoppable dominance of U.S. equities and the MAG 7 is showing signs of fatigue while broader global markets are stepping into the spotlight.

They also break down the latest economic headlines, including the impact of Trump 2.0 policies, which were supposed to fuel growth but seem to be running in the opposite direction faster than Zelensky leaving the White House. Inflation, interest rates, and shifting investment narratives all come into play, along with a fresh take on the Canadian economy's potential. Is this the beginning of a new global investment era?

The Canadian dollar will decrease against the American dollar Guest: Surinderpal Singh, Financial Advisor Host: Taranjeet Ghuman, RED FM Toronto
In the lead-up to President Donald Trump's return to the White House, he has escalated his taunts and economic threats against Canada. How can we prepare for the potential upending of a trade relationship that is the backbone of the Canadian economy? To help sort through this we've gathered one of our all-star panels: Marta Morgan, former deputy minister of foreign affairs, Peter Loewen, the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Cornell University, and Mark Cameron, a former director of policy and research in the prime minister's office. They discuss Canada's challenges, missteps and the odds we'll have new tariffs on Day 1 of Trump's second term.

There are a few reasons why the Canadian dollar is lower against its U.S. counterpart. One is a widening gap in interest rates. Another is economic performance – the U.S. is growing while Canada seems to be slowing. A lower dollar is bad news for consumers and for large parts of the economy, but some sectors do benefit from a weak Loonie. A look at what business are prospering amid a soft dollar, and how potential tariffs could drive it even lower.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In our discussion with the number 1 mortgage specialist across the country for the Bank of Montreal, we're diving into the heart of the economic landscape, starting with the elephant in the room: interest rates. We discuss the divergence in policy between the US and Canada how it sets the stage for a nuanced debate on balancing growth and while combating inflation. While the US hesitates to lower rates, Canada faces mounting pressure to stimulate its economy. However, the fear of triggering inflationary pressures looms large if the value of the loonie drops, potentially complicating the decision-making process for central banks.Shifting our focus to the real estate market, we begin by scrutinizing key indicators like mortgage pre-approvals and new originations. These metrics provide valuable insights into buyer sentiment and seller confidence, especially at a time when we've seen large shifts in the amount of supply hitting the market. As listings surge and inventory levels rise, the impending question for Vancouver homebuyers becomes whether to wait for potential rate cuts or to act swiftly in a market known for rapid shifts.We also extend into the realm of mortgage choices, where buyers grapple with the decision between fixed and variable rates and what the best path forward looks like. Understanding buyer preferences in this regard is crucial, especially given the evolving interest rate environment and its implications for long-term financial planning.Examining the 5-year Canadian bond yields, we uncover vital clues about where to look at the future of mortgage rates. The recent fluctuations in bond yields offer a glimpse into potential rate adjustments by major banks. However, the uncertainty surrounding the June rate announcement adds another layer of complexity to the discussion, especially as Canada has just revealed it added 90,000 jobs to the economy.The prolonged inversion of the US Treasury yield curve serves as a stark reminder of looming economic uncertainties. Historically, such inversions have often preceded every single recession except one, raising concerns about the broader economic outlook and investor sentiment.In the midst of these macroeconomic discussions, we're also delving into buyer behavior and affordability challenges. As home prices continue to hold at very high levels, buyers are becoming increasingly price-sensitive. Yet, intergenerational wealth transfers and shifting attitudes towards homeownership continue to shape the market dynamics, highlighting the resilience of demand despite affordability constraints.By exploring these interconnected themes, we aim to gain a holistic understanding of the current economic landscape and its implications for the real estate market. Through informed discussions and strategic insights, we can navigate the uncertainties and capitalize on emerging opportunities in this ever-evolving environment. _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:
A shooting downtown has shocked Hamiltonians and made Scott wonder why it seems almost like Hamilton's entire image is based around the downtown area. Guest: John Best, Publisher, The Bay Observer - The Toronto Argonauts's starting quarterback, Chad Kelly, has been suspended by the league.

Guest: Rick Zamperin, Host of Good Morning Hamilton, Assistant Program, News & Sr. Sports Director at 900 CHML - The Canadian dollar's exchange rate could be looking to take a nosedive. What are the wider implications of this if it happens? Why would it happen at all? Guest: Dr. Eric Kam, Professor of Economics with Toronto Metropolitan University
The recent developments in the Canadian housing market paint a daunting picture, especially in light of the ambitious promises made in Budget 2024. The government's pledge to construct an additional 2 million homes over the next 7 years appears increasingly improbable when examined against the current realities across various industries.Consider housing starts - Despite the government's optimistic goals, data reveals a staggering housing supply deficit in Canada. The ratio of growth in the working-age population to housing starts has widened significantly, indicating a severe shortfall in housing construction. Moreover, building permits, a leading indicator, have plummeted to their lowest levels since 1983, foreshadowing a bleak outlook for future construction.When we look to mortgages, renewal rates for fixed-rate mortgages have seen an unexpected increase in payment obligations, while there has been a notable shift towards shorter-term fixed-rate mortgages. However, the majority of homeowners possess substantial equity in their properties, signaling a sense of stability in the housing market. The government has also woken up to the amount of mortgage Fraud we are seeing in our system. The government has finally acknowledged the prevalence of it, and has proposed solutions including direct income verification from the CRA, a measure that is long overdue and essential for maintaining the integrity of the mortgage system.Credit card loans and HELOC payments are also on the rise, indicating increased financial strain among Canadians. Corporate insolvencies are climbing, and banks are reducing their own exposure to local business loans, further exacerbating economic pressures and driving down our overall GDP.Despite economic uncertainties, Canadians remain optimistic about the housing market, buoyed by prolonged stability and government promises... However, the disparity between sales volumes and population growth highlights underlying challenges in the market. Even though we have more sales this April over last April, the number of sales overall has continued to diminish compared to long term historical averages. Think 2005 when April saw over 4,000 sales (nearly 50% more than we see today) with 600,000 less people in the region.Lastly, we look at the weakening Canadian Dollar. The potential for interest rate cuts by the Bank of Canada threatens to devalue the Canadian dollar, exacerbating inflationary pressures and lowering living standards. Economic indicators suggest a fragile recovery, characterized by labor market uncertainties, a cautious Federal Reserve, an inverted yield curve, and fluctuating oil prices.While the Budget 2024's housing initiatives aim to address pressing issues, the prevailing economic landscape presents formidable obstacles to their successful implementation. From housing supply deficits to escalating debt levels and external economic factors, the road ahead is fraught with challenges that must be carefully navigated to achieve meaningful progress in the Canadian housing market. _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:
