AI is powering markets higher — but the risks are just as real as the opportunities.
It’s starting to feel like the market didn’t get the memo that September is supposed to be tough. Equities around the world kept pushing higher this week, with tech leading the charge in the U.S. this week. Japan and emerging markets joined the party in a big way as well. The rally has been strong enough that the Nasdaq now sits more than 29% above where it was a year ago, while Canada has quietly kept pace with the Nasdaq thanks to that precious yellow metal. For a month that usually comes with warnings of turbulence, the ride so far has been surprisingly smooth.
Perhaps some volatility next week as all eyes are on the central bank double-header. Both the Fed and the BoC are widely expected to cut rates on Wednesday. At the forefront of that decision was softer labour markets, which forced their hand despite core inflation that remains sticky. The Fed looks like a lock for at least a 25 bp trim, markets are even whispering about the possibility of a bigger move, while the BoC has to juggle its decision with a fresh CPI print the day before.
