The stock market outlook is being shaped by narrowing market breadth, rising inflation concerns and increased market volatility. This stock market outlook examines three important factors investors should consider before making investment decisions. Allan Small explains why a small group of large-cap technology and AI companies continues to drive much of the S&P 500's performance, even as fewer stocks participate in the market's gains. He compares the traditional S&P 500 with its equal-weighted counterpart and discusses the importance of portfolio diversification. Allan also examines key economic data, including US inflation, producer prices and upcoming interest rate decisions from the Federal Reserve and Bank of Canada. Finally, he looks at how headlines involving OpenAI, Apple, Micron and Oracle have triggered sharp market reactions, emphasizing why investors should verify information before making decisions.

The Canada-US trade war is putting growing pressure on Canadian small businesses as tariffs, higher costs and uncertainty affect companies on both sides of the border. The Canada-US trade war is also raising questions about government support, tax relief and the competitiveness of Canadian businesses. Allan Small speaks with Dan Kelly, President and CEO of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, about how small and medium-sized companies are coping. They discuss the latest round of tariffs, Canada's retaliatory measures and why trade uncertainty can be damaging even before tariffs take effect. Kelly explains why some businesses have limited capacity to absorb higher costs and outlines the support he believes smaller companies need. The conversation also covers proposed small business tax cuts, business closures and concerns about Canadian manufacturers considering moving production or expanding operations in the United States.

AI slowdown concerns are becoming an important issue for investors as industry leaders debate the pace of artificial intelligence development. An AI slowdown, rising oil prices and higher bond yields are three factors Allan Small believes investors should be watching before making investment decisions. In this episode, Allan looks at concerns surrounding AI development and the recent pressure on technology, semiconductor, memory and storage stocks. He examines the relationship between rising oil prices, inflation and interest rates, including the market implications of oil trading above $100 a barrel. Allan also discusses the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield reaching 5% and what higher rates could mean for bonds, real estate and the stock market. Finally, he looks at historical periods of rising Treasury yields to explain why higher rates have not always resulted in falling equity markets.

Bond yields keep climbing, key jobs and inflation data is days away, and we're heading into the weakest month of the year for the S&P 500. Here are the top three things to consider before you make your next investment decision. Allan breaks down why the 10-year Treasury pushing toward 5% matters for mortgages, borrowing and stock valuations, why US debt crossing $40 trillion is part of the story, and how the Middle East conflict is feeding straight through oil prices into inflation. He also looks ahead to jobs numbers from the US and Canada this Friday, US CPI on September 11th and Canadian CPI on the 14th, plus whether the Fed moves at its September 16th meeting. Finally, the September seasonality question: since 1950, September is the only month the S&P 500 has finished higher less than half the time. Do you have a question about investing?

Canada walked away from the negotiating table with the United States — and the economic stakes could not be higher. Ian Lee, Associate Professor of Management at the Sprott School of Business, Carleton University, joins Allan Small to explain why he believes that was a mistake, why retaliatory tariffs hurt Canadians more than Americans, and what has to change if Canada wants to avoid a deep recession. Ian argues that Canada's vulnerabilities were built over six decades, not six months: interprovincial trade barriers the IMF ties to roughly $200 billion in lost output, decades of underdeveloped resource capacity, heavy regulation, and an export economy where roughly three-quarters of everything we sell goes to a single customer. He also makes the case that the ten premiers — not just Washington — are standing in the way of a stronger Canadian economy. We cover tariffs and who actually pays them, whether the Prime Minister's hands are really tied, supply management and the 250% dairy tariff, the OECD's long-term GDP per capita warning, and what a realistic path back to the bargaining table looks like.
