Market Analysis: June 3rd, 2025
Global Markets Canadian Markets Canada's TSX Composite index rose modestly on Tuesday, supported by gains in the energy sector as crude oil prices climbed nearly 2%. Investors are focused on the upcoming Bank of Canada (BoC) policy meeting scheduled for Wednesday. While inflation remains sticky in some segments, most economists now believe the BoC is more likely to hold interest rates steady, rather than cut them. The central bank is expected to adopt a cautious tone amid persistent uncertainties in global trade and growth, as well as the lack of a strong domestic disinflationary trend. American Markets U.S. stock markets saw gains across all major indices on Tuesday, buoyed by a weaker U.S. dollar and optimism around potential rate stabilization. However, global concerns were amplified after the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) revised its U.S. GDP forecast for 2025 downward to 1.6%, from a previous 2.2% estimate. The OECD attributed the downgrade to rising interest rates, global trade tensions, and supply chain vulnerabilities. It urged world governments to finalize new trade agreements to cushion economies from further deceleration. U.S. manufacturing activity shrank for the third consecutive month in May, according to ISM data, with supplier delivery times stretching to their longest in nearly three years. This signals mounting pressure from tariffs and potential shortages, especially in industrial inputs and electronics. European Markets European markets opened lower on Tuesday following the OECD's downward revision of global GDP growth to 2.9% for both 2025 and 2026, down from 3.3%. Initial declines were most pronounced in export-heavy sectors, including industrial goods and automotive. However, sentiment improved later in the trading session, and European indices closed in positive territory. Switzerland reported a surprising deflaionary trend, with consumer prices falling year-over-year. This increases the probability that the Swiss National Bank could return to negative interest rates. UK markets initially opened lower on Tuesday, dragged down by mining and materials stocks, from fears of slowing global demand and softer commodity prices. Despite the rough start, the FTSE 100 managed to close higher, helped by strength in energy, aerospace, and defense stocks. Confidence was supported by comments from Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey, who reaffirmed the central bank's 'gradual and careful' approach to cutting interest rates amid rising uncertainty around global trade policy and economic projections.

Market Analysis: Monday June 2nd, 2025
Global Markets Canadian Markets Canada's TSX opened higher, driven by a boost in commodity prices as oil and gold rose. The surge in these commodities helped to offset the weakness in global markets. The Bank of Canada is expected to hold its benchmark interest rate steady at 2.75% when policymakers meet on Wednesday. Despite the recent uptick in the Canadian economy, which grew faster than analysts had anticipated last quarter. The Bank of Canada is opting for a cautious approach, awaiting more data before making any adjustments. This cautious stance comes as inflation remains largely stable, and policymakers are wary of the potential ripple effects from global trade disruptions, particularly between the U.S. and China. Analysts expect at least two more interest rate cuts later this year to help stimulate domestic growth, especially as economic uncertainty looms. American Markets U.S. markets dropped following the latest escalation in the trade war with China. The announcement by President Donald Trump to double tariffs on imported steel and aluminum to 50% has intensified concerns that both economies may enter a prolonged period of trade retaliation. This move is seen as a dramatic escalation in an already tense situation, sparking fears that additional tariffs could further disrupt global supply chains and trade flows. The decision to raise tariffs could exacerbate inflationary pressures, especially in sectors reliant on steel and aluminum, and could contribute to slower economic growth, particularly in manufacturing-heavy regions of the U.S. European Markets European stocks also dropped as escalating tariffs dampened investor sentiment. While May saw European shares gain by 4%, June has begun on a much weaker note, with particularly notable losses in the automotive sector. European auto stocks fell by about 2%, as the U.S. tariffs could hit car manufacturers hard. European automakers, many of which rely on global supply chains, could face higher production costs, and this would negatively impact their bottom lines. Automakers like BMW, Daimler, and Volkswagen, which have significant manufacturing operations in the U.S., are particularly vulnerable to the increased tariffs. UK stocks mirrored the downward trend, with traders opting to reduce exposure to riskier assets as new trade uncertainties emerged. The luxury goods sector also took a hit, with companies like Burberry leading the way down, dropping over 1% during trading. These stocks were particularly sensitive to concerns about higher tariffs, as they often rely on international markets for revenue. Increased tariffs could affect their pricing strategies and make products more expensive for consumers, thereby dampening demand.
