• The MOST IMPORTANT PARTS of the BoC Rate Decision You Haven't Seen | Behind Closed Doors

  🤗 Join over 300,000+ DIY Investors on the Blossom app (FREE) ➤ https://getblossom.onelink.me/SOfu/brandonbeavis In this episode, I break down why the Bank of Canada chose to hold its interest rate at 2.75% and what that decision reveals about the country’s economic crosswinds—from inflationary pressure to slowing growth. Also in this episode: 📉 Global trade uncertainty remains high despite reduced recession fears, with U.S. tariffs and global growth trends shaping the BoC’s outlook.📦 Canada’s strong Q1 GDP was boosted by exporters rushing shipments before tariff hikes.📉 Job growth slowed and unemployment rose, especially in trade-exposed sectors.📊 Inflation appears to be easing, but only due to the removal of the carbon tax—underlying pressures remain.🛒 CPI data shows more broad-based inflation, especially in services, raising long-term concerns.📈 Businesses are bracing for higher input costs and plan to pass them on to consumers.⚖️ The BoC debated cutting rates but held steady due to the conflict between inflation and slowing growth.🔍 Focus now turns to tariffs’ long-term impacts, labor market trends, and inflation expectations.⏳ Inflation might remain high even as growth slows, driven by global supply chain shifts.🪙 For investors, the rate pause offers no clear signal—volatility and uncertainty will persist.

• Is the Economy Finally Turning Around in 2025?

  In this episode, I review the surprising jump in U.S. consumer sentiment in June — the first real improvement in six months. I look at what’s driving the change, how it may influence interest rate policy, and what it means for both U.S. and Canadian investors watching inflation, markets, and trade policy closely. Also in this episode: 📈 Canadian home sales rose slightly in May, suggesting a potential market turnaround — but affordability remains a major issue. 🏡 Listings are finally increasing, while average home prices have dipped nearly 2% year over year. 📉 Youth unemployment in Canada has surged to its worst level in 20+ years, with students hit hardest amid weak hiring and economic uncertainty. 📊 Post-COVID hiring bounce has vanished, and Gen Z is now facing wage scarring and a tough start to their careers. ----------- 📥 Subscribe to the Pulse Newsletter for Weekly Market News ➤ https://thepulse.beaviswealth.com/Courses & Training - The Investing Academy ➤ https://bit.ly/theinvestingacademy Follow Us On Blossom ➤ https://getblossom.page.link/brandonInstagram ➤ https://bit.ly/3OechghLinkedIn ➤https://bit.ly/3RLndF7Website ➤ https://www.beaviswealth.com----------- 🏦🇨🇦 Sign Up Bonuses 💰💸: ► Wealthsimple Trade ($50 cash bonus) - wealthsimple.sjv.io/Vmome3► Wealthsimple Invest Robo-Advisor (Receive a $50 sign up bonus) - wealthsimple.sjv.io/oqQqKm► NEO Financial (Cash Back Credit Card) - https://bit.ly/3yJqb4s► Questrade Online Brokerage (Get $50 in commission-free trades) - https://bit.ly/3OhrRrK The above affiliate links are provided for your convenience, and if you click on a link and end up purchasing a product or service, this channel may receive compensation for the referral.

• Dynamic Pricing Is Manipulating You — And Now It's Under Investigation

  🤗 Join over 300,000+ DIY Investors on the Blossom app (FREE) ➤ https://getblossom.onelink.me/SOfu/brandonbeavis In this episode, I talk about the Canada Competition Bureau's probe into algorithmic pricing, warning it could lead to silent collusion and unfair competition. Also in this episode: I break down the latest U.S. inflation numbers and why the market reaction is more optimistic than it sounds. Despite a slight uptick, inflation came in below forecasts—offering a mixed but encouraging picture. The World Bank forecasts the slowest decade of global economic growth since the 1960s, citing trade tensions and policy uncertainty. Canadian provinces boycott U.S. wine after new tariffs, triggering a massive drop in American imports and a shift to global suppliers.
