  • Market Breadth Narrowing, Key Economic Data, & Jittery Markets - Top 3 This Week

    The stock market outlook is being shaped by narrowing market breadth, rising inflation concerns and increased market volatility. This stock market outlook examines three important factors investors should consider before making investment decisions.

    Allan Small explains why a small group of large-cap technology and AI companies continues to drive much of the S&P 500's performance, even as fewer stocks participate in the market's gains. He compares the traditional S&P 500 with its equal-weighted counterpart and discusses the importance of portfolio diversification.

    Allan also examines key economic data, including US inflation, producer prices and upcoming interest rate decisions from the Federal Reserve and Bank of Canada.

    Finally, he looks at how headlines involving OpenAI, Apple, Micron and Oracle have triggered sharp market reactions, emphasizing why investors should verify information before making decisions.

  • Canada-US Trade War: Small Businesses Feel the Impact - An Interview with Dan Kelly, CFIB

    The Canada-US trade war is putting growing pressure on Canadian small businesses as tariffs, higher costs and uncertainty affect companies on both sides of the border.

They discuss the latest round of tariffs, Canada's retaliatory measures and why trade uncertainty can be damaging even before tariffs take effect. Kelly explains why some businesses have limited capacity to absorb higher costs and outlines the support he believes smaller companies need.
