Here's what I expect to see in upcoming economic data releases.

BLS will release (w/delay) on Wednesday. Until then, we have ADP (which underwent benchmarking).

Rare earths, lithium, and graphite form the lifeblood of every smartphone, EV, and fighter jet. Here lies the true chokehold. China doesn't just mine these minerals; it refines and processes them for the world.

The market has been range-bound for months.

This week saw the start of de-risking/deleveraging in big tech.

Even Trump now admits he wants higher home prices, and it’s because older voters want their asset prices to go up forever.

Consumer staples are where scared money hides while still calling itself invested. They're the last stop before cash. The real move comes when both sectors fall together. When staples can't hold.

I view the market as lacking depth still, but on a slow, tricky mend.

Silver could be in for a hard slog over the next couple of months and maybe a little bit beyond that before the next turn up begins.

This is looking like an old time cycle high with the DJIA closing at an all time high unconfirmed by the broader indices.

The Fed is becoming more relaxed about the US jobs market. Yet, this week's data makes that look complacent. And payroll numbers next week will be key. So, what's going on beneath the surface?

Gamma, not fundamentals, drove Friday’s rally. The move higher was largely mechanical, as dealers adjusted hedges in a negative gamma regime.

Caterpillar Inc. delivered an impressive performance in the fourth quarter of 2025, posting record revenues on higher volumes across segments. The industrial giant also returned to positive earnings growth. How should investors approach the stock?

Robinhood stock climbed by 14% on Friday to $82.82, providing relief after a punishing decline that saw shares drop 46% from their all-time high of $152 on Oct. 9. The rebound came on heavy volume, with 53.9 million shares traded.

Technology was the big market laggard again on Wednesday following disappointing earnings and more software anxiety. 7 of the 11 sector SPDRs were higher on the day, but the State Street Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund lost 2.8%.

That was a seriously wild week. It seemed like the bears were going to absolutely take over the market, with an amazing crescendo seen late on Thursday as Bitcoin plunged to less than half its peak price. Friday saw the revenge of the bulls, however.

Monday's trading session hammered home my approach to volatility -- and from a different angle. The S&P 500 had printed a 152-handle daily bar, the Nasdaq looked identical, and both were bleeding into the afternoon. Context forced another adaptation.

If you’ve invested in US stocks as a Canadian, you’ve probably bumped into Canadian Depositary Receipts. They can be convenient, but convenience comes with a price tag. So, when do CDRs make sense—and when are you paying for something you don’t need?

Bitcoin took a brutal hit in recent days, plunging to a low of $60,074 – a staggering drop of over 50% from its peak of $126,210. Yet, bulls remain unshaken, insisting a $1 million price tag is "inevitable." Is there a reason for this optimism?

We have good news for consumers. First, PepsiCo announced it will slash prices by 15% on snack brands such as Lay's and Doritos.The second piece of good news is on the avocado front. Prices in Mexico have plunged down more than 19% from a year ago.
