What shutdown? Markets looked right past the headlines, with the TSX up 2.3% and the S&P 500 gaining 1.2% in CAD terms. Overseas, Europe rose 3.3% and EM added 3.4%, both outpacing North America. Broad gains across regions made it clear investors weren’t paying much attention to the shutdown drama
The shutdown itself looks more like an irritant than a real market event (guess that depends on how long it lasts). The bigger issue is that it leaves the Fed flying half-blind into its late-October meeting, since they’ll be missing some official data. Markets are still convinced a rate cut is coming, maybe even more likely now, but the Fed will have to lean on private surveys and sentiment indicators at a time when the economy is sending mixed signals.
Closer to home, Canadian equities continue to impress, now up 25% on the year and even more over the last two years. Gold has juiced part of that run, but even excluding materials, the TSX has been ahead of the S&P 500 this year. With Canadian trade and jobs reports due next week, we’ll soon see if the rally has more fuel.
