In this insightful episode, we take a comprehensive look at the economic landscape in both Canada and the United States, exploring its far-reaching effects on the stock markets across these neighboring nations. While the US market has seen impressive gains, largely propelled by the influential "magnificent 7," Canadian investors are taking a more measured approach, keenly awaiting signs of economic rejuvenation and the possibility of interest rate reductions. We are joined by Sebastien McMahon, the distinguished Chief Strategist and Senior Economist at iA Financial Group, who will offer his expert perspective on pivotal questions: Are we past the peak of inflation? What is the anticipated timeline for interest rate adjustments in both countries? Moreover, Sebastien will evaluate the future trajectory of NVIDIA and AI technologies, shedding light on their potential to reshape the economic and investment landscapes.
