Quick Glance: Bank of Canada Likely to Lead U.S. Fed in Rate Cuts
- The Bank of Canada is likely to move ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve on its first rate cut, as tepid economic growth and cooling inflation are priming up conditions to ease borrowing rates sooner, economists and analysts said.
- Canada may also need deeper cuts in the current cycle, since the economy is much more sensitive to interest rates due to its household debt, which as a percentage of net disposable income is the highest among G7 countries.
- Canada is expected to cut more aggressively over a longer time frame than its neighbor.
- Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem has said that despite two back-to-back soft inflation prints, underlying price pressures in the economy still persisted and it was still too early to consider a cut.

Quick Glance: TSX achieves longest weekly gain streak in three years
- Canada's main stock index linked to commodities closed lower on Friday due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar, yet managed to secure its sixth consecutive weekly gain.

- The U.S. dollar saw gains for the second consecutive week against a basket of major currencies, resulting in commodities priced in U.S. currency becoming more costly for buyers using other currencies.
- Significant declines were also observed in financials, dropping by 0.6%, and technology showing a 1.1% decrease. Tilray Brands Inc shares surged by 19.8%, while shares of cannabis-related firms rose following Germany's legalization of cannabis possession.
