Wednesday, April 24, 8:55 AM Cautious on Canadian stocks of late, Desjardins Capital's Ed Sollbach is taking advantage of the TSX's 7.3% decline over the last 6 weeks to put money to work, particularly in the materials and energy sectors hard-hit be the big decline in commodity prices. EWC has underperformed the S&P 500 by nearly 1,700 bps YTD. Comment! [Global & FX]
Monday, April 15, 10:02 AM Underperforming today as commodities (DBC -1.7%) take a beating is Canada, the TSX -1.5%. Also seeing little love is the loonie (FXC -0.6%). The move in the MSCI Canada Index ETF (EWC -2.4%) reflects both the loss in shares and the currency. EWC is now off 5% YTD, trailing the S&P 500 by 1500 basis points. Comment! [Global & FX, On the Move]
Wednesday, January 23, 10:08 AM The Bank of Canada fires a shot in the currency wars, holding its benchmark rate at 1% and calling the chance of higher rates "less imminent." The loonie slides 40 pips, now -0.5% and buying $1.0036. FXC -0.4%. Comment! [Global & FX, Breaking News]
Friday, December 14, 2012, 10:46 AM Canadian energy interests need to accept what the courts already have: After 170 legal victories, First Nations now hold the balance of power in deciding the fate of Canada’s resource projects because they have rights others don’t, according to Bill Gallagher. He praises Suncor (SU) and Syncrude oil sands for their cooperative approach; Northern Gateway and other pipeline projects should take note. Comment! [Energy]
Tuesday, December 4, 2012, 7:45 AM The strong loonie may have Canadian shoppers showing up at U.S. malls, but it's the "heart of a renaissance" in business spending, says a bullish David Rosenberg. Still contracting in the U.S., capital spending in Canada is a full percentage point above the norm, promising to generate the productivity and job growth necessary for sustainable recovery. 2 Comments [Global & FX]
Friday, November 30, 2012, 9:11 AM Canada's real GDP grew just 0.1% in Q3, slowing from Q2's 0.4%. GDP grew 0.6% on an annualized basis, short of expectations for 0.9%. A sharp 2% decline in exports - the biggest in 3 years - led the slow print. The loonie takes a small stumble, now -0.2% and buying $1.0064. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
Tuesday, August 28, 2012, 12:46 PM Operating profits for non-financial Canadian corporations put in their worst H1 performance since the bursting of the dot-com bubble, falling 5% in Q2 on top of a 5.1% drop in Q1. The report comes not long after BOC Governor Carney's demand for companies to put their cash to work or give it back to shareholders. Comment! [Global & FX]
Wednesday, July 18, 2012, 11:07 AM Preferred stock ETF investors frustrated by most funds' heavy exposure to financials have an alternative in Van Eck's just-launched PFXF. The fund attempts to mirror the performance of the Wells Fargo Hybrid and Preferred Securities ex-Financials Index. Comment! [Quick Ideas]
Tuesday, July 17, 2012, 3:03 PM Preferred stock investors (PFF) - currently in the enviable position of earning a sweet return as the supply of available shares dwindles - get another fund to choose from with the launch of the Global X SuperIncome Preferred ETF (SPFF), set up to track an S&P Index of the highest yielding preferreds in the U.S. and Canada. Comment! [Financials]
Tuesday, May 15, 2012, 1:38 PM "Canada's business cycle bounce appears to have run its course," says BAML's Neil Dutta, expecting recent strong macro data to become less so. He takes note of the country's curious terms of trade hit - its eastern half importing expensive Brent crude, while the west exports cheaper WTI. Bottom line: Reduce exposure to Canadian risk assets and increase holdings of fixed income. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
Friday, May 11, 2012, 8:37 AM Canada adds 58.2K jobs in April (82.3K previous), far stronger than estimates for 7K. The unemployment rate rises to 7.3%, inline. The loonie flies higher, rising to parity with the greenback. Comment! [Global & FX]
Friday, May 4, 2012, 10:13 AM Canada's Ivey PMI for April dives to 52.2 from 65.0 previously, and against expectations for 61.0. The loonie tumbles 0.5%, but remains above parity with the greenback at $1.0071. It's the latest in a string of weakish numbers from up north and may cease rumblings from the BoC about rate hikes. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
Monday, April 30, 2012, 9:22 AM More on Canada GDP: The Feb. decline - the worst print in more than 2 years - comes as mining and oil & gas extraction declined 1.6%, led by a 7% decline in mining, led by a 19% decline in Potash mining - a dive surely telegraphed by weak Q1 sales of the fertilizer reported by Potash (POT) and Mosaic (MOS). Improvement, however, is on the way, says Mosaic. Comment! [Global & FX, Commodities]
Monday, April 30, 2012, 8:42 AM Canada February GDP -0.2% vs. +0.2% expected, +0.1% previous. Y/Y +1.6%, +1.7% previous. The loonie - recently going strong thanks to talk of rate hikes by the BoC - takes a tumble, -0.6% to $1.0142. Comment! [Global & FX, Breaking News]
Thursday, April 26, 2012, 9:34 AM The loonie remains at its highest level since September, buying $1.0165 as the Bank of Canada continues to signal rate hikes in the not-to-distant future and the Fed remains on "permanent hold," says SocGen's Kit Juckes. FXC +3.6% YTD. Comment! [Global & FX]
Tuesday, April 24, 2012, 4:09 PM Higher policy rates may become appropriate, says BoC Governor Carney, testifying before the House of Commons, and again setting the stage for tighter monetary policy in the near future. The loonie remains higher against the dollar, buying $1.10120. FXC +0.3%. Comment! [Global & FX]
