Nasdaq
(RTTNews) - Il mercato canadese è in territorio negativo poco dopo mezzogiorno di venerdì, dopo essersi ritirato dopo un leggero rialzo all'inizio della sessione. Sebbene i dati positivi del PIL canadese e il rapporto sull'inflazione statunitense aiutino il sentiment, l'umore rimane un po' cauto con gli investitori che guardano avanti ai dati statunitensi sul reddito personale e sulla spesa previsti per venerdì.
L'indice di riferimento S&P/TSX Composite era in calo di 39,83 o 0,17% a 23.187,66 quasi mezz'ora dopo mezzogiorno.
K-Bro Linen Inc (KBL.TO), Quebecor Inc (QBR.A.TO), Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CM.TO), Canadian Apartment Properties Real Estate (CAR.UN.TO), Boardwalk Real Estate Investment Trust (BEI.UN.TO) e Ag Growth International (AFN.TO) stanno guadagnando dall'1,3% al 2,4%.
Laurentian Bank (LB.TO) è in calo del 4,3%. La banca ha registrato un utile netto di 34,1 milioni di dollari e un utile per azione diluito di 0,67 dollari per il terzo trimestre del 2024, rispetto a un utile netto di 49,3 milioni di dollari e un utile per azione diluito di 1,03 dollari per il terzo trimestre del 2023.
Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ.TO), Dayforce (DAY.TO), Cogeco Inc (CGO.TO), Open Text Corporation (OTEX.TO), Bombardier Inc (BBD.B.TO), Imperial Oil (IMO.TO), Tourmaline Oil Corp (TOU.TO), Precision Drilling Corporation (PD.TO), Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM.TO) e TFI International (TFII.TO) sono in calo dall'1% al 2,5%.
Canadian Western Bank (CWB.TO) è in calo dello 0,7%. CWB ha registrato un utile netto di 41 milioni di dollari per il terzo trimestre del suo attuale esercizio finanziario, in calo del 46% rispetto al trimestre precedente.
I dati di Statistics Canada hanno mostrato che l'economia canadese è avanzata dello 0,5% nel secondo trimestre del 2024, dopo un aumento dello 0,4% nel periodo precedente, segnando il secondo trimestre consecutivo di espansione.
Su base annualizzata, il PIL canadese è cresciuto del 2,1% nel secondo trimestre, il dato più alto dal primo trimestre 2023, accelerando da un aumento rivisto al rialzo dell'1,8% nel trimestre precedente e superando le previsioni dell'1,6%.
Secondo un rapporto della Canadian Federation of Independent Business, il barometro delle imprese in Canada, un indice a lungo termine che riflette le aspettative a 12 mesi per la performance delle imprese nel paese, è salito al massimo di 2 anni del 56,8 in agosto dal 55,5 rivisto al rialzo del mese precedente.
Nelle notizie economiche statunitensi, il Dipartimento del Commercio ha pubblicato i dati sull'inflazione dei prezzi al consumo negli Stati Uniti che si dice siano preferiti dalla Federal Reserve.
Il rapporto ha mostrato che i prezzi al consumo sono aumentati in linea con le stime degli economisti nel mese di luglio, mentre il tasso annuale di crescita dei prezzi è stato inaspettatamente piatto.
Il Dipartimento del Commercio ha dichiarato che il suo indice dei prezzi delle spese per consumi personali (PCE) è aumentato dello 0,2% a luglio dopo un leggero aumento dello 0,1% a giugno. Il modesto aumento ha soddisfatto le aspettative.
Nel frattempo, il rapporto ha indicato che i tassi annuali di crescita dell'indice dei prezzi PCE e dell'indice dei prezzi PCE core sono rimasti invariati rispettivamente al 2,5% e al 2,6%.

"The sharp earnings contraction at Laurentian Bank reveals underlying credit stress that the positive headline GDP growth is currently masking."
The market is currently caught in a 'good news is bad news' trap. While the 2.1% annualized GDP growth is fundamentally bullish, it complicates the Bank of Canada’s easing cycle by potentially keeping inflation stickier for longer. The divergence between the resilient REITs/Financials and the sell-off in energy (CNQ, IMO, TOU) suggests a rotation out of cyclical commodities into defensive yield-sensitive assets. Laurentian Bank’s 35% earnings drop year-over-year is the real canary in the coal mine here, signaling that regional credit quality is deteriorating much faster than the headline GDP growth suggests. I am cautious on the TSX as valuation multiples are stretched relative to this earnings volatility.

The strong GDP print could simply signal a soft landing, justifying current valuations and providing a floor for the TSX as interest rate cuts eventually filter through the economy.

"Q2 GDP beat and flat US PCE annual inflation reinforce a soft-landing narrative, making the TSX’s minor pullback a dip to buy ahead of potential BoC/Fed easing."
Canada’s Q2 GDP expanded 0.5% QoQ (2.1% annualized, beating 1.6% forecasts)—strongest growth since Q1 2023—paired with CFIB business barometer at a 2-year high of 56.8 signals robust forward momentum. Tame US PCE (0.2% MoM, flat YoY at 2.5%) supports Fed rate cut odds, spilling positively into TSX sentiment. The 0.17% dip to 23,187 is negligible noise amid caution pre-US personal spending data; gainers like CM.TO (+2%), CAR.UN.TO (+2%) highlight resilient banks and REITs. Energy weakness (CNQ.TO -2%) likely oil-tied, not systemic.

Regional bank earnings misses—LB.TO EPS plunging to $0.67 from $1.03 YoY, CWB income -46% QoQ—hint at mounting credit risks or provisioning in a high-rate environment that macro data overlooks.

"The market’s refusal to rally on beat GDP and tame inflation—combined with sharp bank earnings deterioration—signals investors expect U.S. consumer spending data Friday to confirm demand is cracking, not that policy will ease."
The article frames this as a modest positive—Canadian GDP beat (2.1% annualized vs. 1.6% forecast), U.S. PCE flat year-over-year, business sentiment at 2-year highs. But the market is DOWN 0.17%, not up. That's the tell. Investors are pricing in that flat PCE masks sticky core inflation (2.6%), and the real test—U.S. personal income & spending data—hasn't dropped yet. The bank earnings are also a red flag: Laurentian down 4.3% on 35% EPS collapse YoY; CWB down 46% sequentially. This isn't margin compression—it’s deteriorating credit quality or loan loss provisions spiking. The TSX’s weakness despite good macro data suggests rotation away from cyclicals into defensive plays (K-Bro, Quebecor, REITs all up), signaling real concern about what Friday’s consumer spending data reveals.
Avvocato del diavolo
The 'good news is bad news' reading assumes the Fed stays hawkish, but flat PCE could justify rate cuts sooner than priced in—which would lift equities, not depress them. The bank earnings weakness might be one-quarter noise, not systemic.

"Canada’s improving macro backdrop (2Q24 GDP + CFIB) suggests room for upside in equities even as the market takes a cautious pause."
The TSX nudged lower 0.17% as investors pause ahead of US Personal Income & Spending data, even after Canada’s 2Q24 GDP printed 2.1% annualized and the CFIB barometer hit a 2-year high. Breadth was mixed: several defensive/real estate names lead while energy and financials drift. The missing context: how durable the domestic momentum is into H2 and how the Bank of Canada will react to sticky inflation signals amid a tepid earnings backdrop (Laurentian Bank, CNQ, etc.). Also, a weak US print could roil rates and the CAD, offsetting any domestic optimism. In short, macro momentum is improving, but sector skews and policy risks keep the tape fragile.
Avvocato del diavolo
The strongest case against neutrality is that Canada’s 2Q24 GDP of 2.1% annualized and a rising CFIB barometer imply genuine macro momentum that should loosen financial conditions for risk assets; if US inflation remains tame, rate expectations could ease, supporting a renewed rally in Canadian cyclicals and financials.

"Headline GDP growth is masking a per-capita recession that is crushing regional bank margins and credit quality."
Claude, you’re missing the structural trap: Canada’s 2.1% GDP growth is heavily skewed by population growth, not productivity. Per-capita GDP is still contracting, which explains the disconnect between headline macro prints and the earnings carnage at LB.TO and CWB.TO. We aren't seeing a 'soft landing'; we are seeing a 'per-capita recession' where consumption is only sustained by immigration. This makes the BoC’s path nearly impossible, as cutting rates risks fueling housing inflation further.

"Per-capita weakness forces BoC easing that could revive cyclicals faster than it inflames housing."

"Rate cuts into per-capita recession compress bank margins without boosting loan growth—a structural headwind, not temporary noise."
Grok assumes BoC rate cuts lift CNQ faster than they hurt banks, but that's backwards. Lower rates + per-capita recession = weaker loan demand and tighter spreads for regional banks already provisioning hard. CNQ benefits only if oil rallies on growth—but flat-to-negative per-capita growth doesn't drive that. LB/CWB earnings aren't cycle noise; they're signaling the BoC's cutting into a demand vacuum, not slack. That's deflationary, not cyclical.

"BoC easing could hurt banks through higher loan losses and renewals even as energy stocks gain from oil; financials risk is the missing link that could cap any policy-driven rally."
Grok, I think you overstate how BoC easing would lift CNQ while banks prosper. In a Canada with high household debt and housing exposure, rate cuts can inflame mortgage renewals and widen credit losses, pressuring lenders more than energy stocks benefit from oil. LB.TO/CWB already signal credit stress; energy upside hinges on oil, not policy. The risk here is a bank-led drag that could cap any cyclical rally even with a softer rate outlook.
