Analysis:US tech-stock stumble shows vulnerability in AI trade
NEW YORK :U.S. technology shares are showing signs of vulnerability after a massive run, which has some investors pointing to overdone AI-driven gains while funds have taken steps to position away from the high-flying sector. Investors are looking to de-risk portfolios or lock in profits during a seasonally difficult period for stocks. Friday's looming speech by Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell at the annual Jackson Hole symposium is creating caution, investors said, with the potential for volatility if his comments fail to meet growing market expectations that the central bank is poised to cut interest rates. "When you have overcrowding and you have had such strong performance, it doesn't take much to see an unwind of that," said Keith Lerner, co-chief investment officer at Truist Advisory Services. "At the same time this week, everyone is waiting for the Fed, and there is repositioning ahead of that." The heavyweight S&P 500 tech sector fell sharply for a second consecutive session on Wednesday, putting its decline on the week at about 2.5 per cent, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite was off about 2 per cent for the week. Shares of some highflyers, including Nvidia Corp and Palantir Technologies, were getting hit particularly hard. The pullback comes after a huge rally in which the tech sector soared over 50 per cent through last week since the market's low for the year in April. That easily topped the 29 per cent gain of the broader S&P 500 during that period and drove up valuations of tech stocks to lofty levels. Investors cited wariness about the artificial intelligence trade, which has been a key driver of tech stocks and the broader market as indexes have soared to record highs this year. Shares of Nvidia, the semiconductor giant that has symbolized the AI trade, have gained about 30 per cent this year while shares of AI-focused data and analytics firm Palantir have roughly doubled year-to-date. Indeed, the tech sector's price-to-earnings ratio recently reached about 30 times expected earnings for the next 12 months, its highest level in a year, according to LSEG Datastream, while tech's share of the overall S&P 500's market value is nearly its highest since 2000. Recent cautionary signs included a study from researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that found that 95 per cent of organizations are getting no return on AI investments, as well as comments by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, who told tech news website the Verge last week that investors may be getting overexcited about AI. Since last week, some AI-linked shares have pulled back sharply: Nvidia has dropped about 5 per cent while shares of Palantir have slumped some 16 per cent. In Europe, stocks of so-called AI adopters have been under pressure over concerns over how powerful new AI models could disrupt the software sector. Still, some investors said, the caution is unlikely to be a sign that enthusiasm over AI is fizzling. 'These are price corrections," said Andrew Almeida, director of investments at financial planning network XYPN. "But if you look at the big picture, it's clear that more people will be investing more dollars in AI infrastructure. This is certainly not a 'reckoning' with the AI theme." JACKSON HOLE SEEN AS CRITICAL Investors also could be paring back their stock exposure during a traditionally rocky period for equities. August and September rank as the worst-performing months on average for the S&P 500 over the past 35 years, according to the Stock Trader's Almanac. "Valuations were stretched, these names have not taken a breather, and we're going into a tougher season for stocks," said King Lip, chief strategist at Baker Avenue Wealth Management. Other sectors such as consumer staples, healthcare and financials were up on the week, while relative strength for the equal-weight S&P 500 signaled to some investors a possible start of broadening of gains beyond the massive tech stocks that have led indexes higher. Powell's upcoming speech comes as Fed fund futures on Wednesday were indicating an 84 per cent chance that the central bank will cut rates at its next meeting on September 16-17. Investors will be watching to see if Powell gives any indication that the central bank is on track for such a move or if he pushes back on the market's expectation for easing, which could spark volatility. Tech stocks tend to carry higher valuations which could make them sensitive to higher-than-expected interest rates going forward. "There are a lot of people who have overweighted tech, and it has worked for them," said Chuck Carlson, chief executive officer at Horizon Investment Services.

American man who kayaked to Canada says he's claimed asylum, wants to find peace
When an American man first set foot in Canada after paddling across the border in a kayak (new window) earlier this month, his first stop was none other than Tim Hortons, he says. I hit the sand, drugged my 'yak up on the sand, geared up, went across the road to Timmies, had a cup of coffee [and] calmed down a little bit, Dan Livers said Monday. Livers, 51, made headlines two weeks ago when police in the town of LaSalle, Ont., said they found him at around 1 a.m. trying to illegally enter the country. They said they handed him over to federal authorities, but didn't release his name, and it was unclear what happened to him after that. Enlarge image (new window) Dan Livers, an American man who kayaked to Canada in early August, is seen in Windsor, Ont., on Aug. 18, 2025. Photo: CBC / Mike Evans Now, he's in Windsor and telling his story. Livers says he's a U.S. Army veteran who was living in western Michigan before his recent trek across the Detroit River. He says he has claimed asylum in Canada with hopes of finding peace north of the border. On Aug. 5, he set out from the Michigan shoreline in a kayak he says he got for $25, cutting across international shipping channels and landing about 12 kilometres south of the Ambassador Bridge. Livers' kayak, now in the possession of the RCMP. Photo: Courtesy RCMP Livers says that once he left Tim Hortons, he tried to declare himself at a nearby fire station, but staff told him they don't handle that sort of thing. So he decided he would wait to run into local law enforcement. He says that roughly six hours later, he came across a LaSalle police officer. About 1 in the morning, a patrolman was out doing his rounds and, you know, doing his job, Livers said. And lo there I was. He made contact with me and I turned myself into him. The force said the officer was conducting commercial property checks at the time. Later that day, LaSalle police said they had transferred him to the RCMP. The national police force, which is responsible for border security outside official ports of entry, confirmed Livers' identity to CBC News. The RCMP then brought Livers to Canadian border officials. The Canada Border Services Agency declined to comment on the specific case, citing privacy rules. But Livers says he has applied for refugee protections and has been granted a temporary status in Canada. He says he fears for his life back home, and that that's why he crossed in a kayak — not at an official border crossing. I remember East Germany when I was a kid, he said. Nobody came through Checkpoint Charlie and I wasn't gonna run the gauntlet of ICE, sheriff's department, state police, whomever. Livers says he fears retribution after criticizing a nonprofit group in Michigan that provides service dogs and works with the state government. It's all true. All the nonsense you hear south of the border is true, he said. Enlarge image (new window) Dan Livers, an American man who recently kayaked to Canada, in downtown Windsor on Monday, Aug. 18, 2025. Photo: CBC / Mike Evans CBC News cannot verify Livers's claims. In any case, it will be up to him to prove to Canadian authorities that he has a real fear of persecution or serious harm in the U.S. — and that he wouldn't be safe anywhere in the country. He'll likely need to plead his case before the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, an independent tribunal that decides whether asylum seekers can stay in the country long-term. Eddie Kadri, a Windsor-based immigration lawyer, said regardless of the specifics of Livers' claims, his chances of success are low. We have a fragile refugee system as it is, and it certainly wasn't designed or meant to be used by American citizens seeking legal status in Canada, Kadri said in an email. Under Canadian law, the legal requirements to be met in order for a claimant to be found a refugee or a person in need of protection is one that would be quite difficult for an American citizen to meet, if not impossible. Either way, Livers could be waiting months or even years for a decision on his asylum claim. The federal government is working through a backlog of cases. Enlarge image (new window) Livers recently added a Canada-U.S. pin to his hat. Photo: CBC / Mike Evans For now, he's staying at the Downtown Mission, a shelter in Windsor's core, and says his experience in Canada has been great so far. He misses his dog, Orthos, and the friend who's caring for him, though. He knows getting refugee protection will be hard, but says he's up for the challenge. I just don't want to get killed and I hate looking over my shoulder, he said. I promise I'll do everything I can to be a good Canadian and I will defend your border, I swear.

What comes next as Canada Post and union return to bargaining talks?
With talks now resuming between Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), many Canadians may be wondering what led to the current state of negotiations and what could happen next — including if there could be further strike action. Wednesday's meeting comes after Canada's largest union of postal workers rejected the Crown corporation's 'best and final offers,' and as federal mediators are set to help the two sides try to reach a deal. Last week, the CUPW said mediators were unavailable 'due to their current involvement in the Air Canada negotiations,' before rescheduling to Aug. 20. Although there is currently no nationwide strike, there is ongoing job action by the CUPW in the form of refusing overtime work. Business owners have said the 'uncertainty' of whether there could be another full strike like what happened late last year has led many to seek alternative delivery options. Story continues below advertisement As for what happens next if the two sides can't reach a deal, CUPW informed members on its website that it is working to reach a deal while noting the possibilities in the event of either a strike or a lockout. 'Another possibility if either party engages in further strike or lock-out actions is the Government intervening again with back-to-work legislation or another section 107 order with binding arbitration,' the union said. 0:47 Canada Post workers reject 'final' contract offers after vote What are the core challenges? The negotiations date back to November 2023, when Canada Post's contract with CUPW was set to expire, and it was one year later in November 2024 that the first strike action began. Story continues below advertisement The union has several key demands, including wage increases, a signing bonus, maintaining a defined benefit pension and job security clauses. Get breaking National news For news impacting Canada and around the world, sign up for breaking news alerts delivered directly to you when they happen. Sign up for breaking National newsletter Sign Up By providing your email address, you have read and agree to Global News' Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy One of the demands Canada Post has made, which has been a point of contention in the negotiations, is the use of contracted or part-time workers, which the union has argued against and has pushed for savings elsewhere. In a statement, Canada Post said the part-time jobs will create stability and predictability for people looking for flexible work. 'The part-time positions will provide health and pension benefits and scheduled and guaranteed hours (15 to 40 hours of work per week),' a statement from Canada Post says. 'The creation of part-time jobs increases the company's delivery flexibility, especially on weekends, while ensuring that letter carriers are not required to work weekend shifts.' The CUPW said in its own statement that Canada Post wants the part-time workforce to handle weekend delivery, but the union is concerned this could impact job security for full-time workers. 'Under Canada Post's proposal, weekend workers would be scheduled for 15 hours/week, mostly on the weekend, but they could also have shifts throughout the week. Canada Post could add more hours to these workers' schedules in times of high workload,' the CUPW says in the statement. Story continues below advertisement 'Canada Post's proposal would all but eliminate overtime for full-time carriers, as part-timers with 'flexible' schedules would be offered more hours before full-timers were offered overtime.' With the two sides unable to reach an agreement last year, the union of roughly 55,000 workers went on strike. After several weeks on picket lines, then-labour minister Steven MacKinnon asked the Canada Industrial Relations Board (CIRB) to order postal workers back to work while a process to assess the challenges between them was carried out. The CIRB ruled in favour of the proposal, and the strike ended on Dec. 17, 2024. Although workers were ordered to end the strike action at the time, the contract Canada Post had with its employees was extended to May 2025 to allow more time for negotiations. The union and Canada Post were still unable to come to an agreement on a new contract before May 2025, however, and the union issued another strike notice. Canada Post tabled its 'latest and final offers,' to the union, which was rejected, and prompted further negotiations between the company and the union. 6:16 What's next in the Canada Post labour dispute? Canada Post has said the ongoing negotiations and job action have led to millions of dollars lost every day and what it calls an 'existential crisis.' Story continues below advertisement In May, Canada Post reported in 2024 the company saw a loss of $841 million before tax, and marked the seventh straight year of declines, adding the 32-day national strike 'escalated' the 'challenges' faced. Canada Post also said in a statement regarding its offer to the union in May of 2025 that parcel volumes at the company have fallen 65 per cent since the same time last year. A report released in May 2025 from a federal industrial inquiry commission said Canada Post's financial issues make it 'effectively insolvent.'
