Canadians are holding more cash in their wallets, Bank of Canada finds
OTTAWA — A new survey from the Bank of Canada shows Canadians are keeping more cash in their wallets in an increasingly digital world. The central bank says its 2024 survey on payment methods show Canadians kept an average of $156 in cash on hand, $16 more than in 2023. The survey done in partnership with Ipsos shows customers are using ATMs and bank branches more often and also taking more cash out per withdrawal. Those surveyed suggest around 20 per cent of their purchases were made via cash. While the use of cash was on a steady decline heading into the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bank of Canada says those figures have been resilient over recent years. Mobile payments are meanwhile gaining traction, accounting for almost five per cent of purchases in 2024, up a couple of percentage points from a year earlier. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 14, 2025.

Hudbay Minerals (HBM) Climbs 15% on Stellar Earnings, $600-Million Investment From Mitsubishi
We recently published . Hudbay Minerals Inc. (NYSE:HBM) is one of the best-performing stocks on Wednesday. Hudbay Minerals grew its share prices for a second day on Wednesday, up 15.03 percent to close at $11.33 apiece, following an impressive earnings performance and a $600-million investment from Mitsubishi Corp. In its updated report, Hudbay Minerals Inc. (NYSE:HBM) said it swung to a net income attributable to shareholders of $117.7 million from an attributable net loss of $16.5 million in the same period last year, driven by higher gross margins and strong cost control. Revenues increased by 26 percent to $536.4 million from $425.5 million year-on-year. 'With the strong performance in the first half of the year, we are reaffirming our full year consolidated production guidance and are favourably tracking well below our full year consolidated cost guidance for 2025,' said Hudbay Minerals Inc. (NYSE:HBM) President and CEO Peter Kukielski. For the full-year period, the company is targeting to produce between 117,000 and 149,000 tons of copper, as well as 247,500 to 308,000 ounces of gold. In other news, Hudbay Minerals Inc. (NYSE:HBM) was able to raise $600 million in fresh funds from Mitsubishi Corp. after the latter acquired a 30-percent stake in Copper World LLC. Under the agreement, Mitsubishi will pay an upfront cash of $420 million, with the balance to serve as a matching contribution within an 18-month period. While we acknowledge the potential of HBM as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

Paramount Skydance extended its rally to touch a new high on Wednesday, finishing up by 36.74 percent at $15 apiece, with a former hedge fund manager calling it a 'meme' stock.
