Investing.com -- Canada’s securities regulators have proposed a multi-year pilot program that could reshape financial reporting norms for smaller public companies. The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) unveiled the Semi-Annual Reporting (SAR) Pilot, which would allow certain venture issuers to forego first and third quarter financial disclosures in favor of a twice-a-year reporting schedule. Eligible companies would include those listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and the Canadian Securities Exchange, subject to specific terms and conditions. The initiative is part of a broader effort by the CSA to reduce the regulatory burden on smaller companies while aligning standards more closely with global practices. “The semi-annual financial reporting pilot is the result of work and consultations by the CSA that go back several years, as well as our ongoing efforts to support the competitiveness of Canadian capital markets by making financial reporting more efficient and cost-effective for eligible issuers,” said Stan Magidson, CSA Chair and Chair and CEO of the Alberta Securities Commission. “We are committed to a Canadian regulatory environment that is right-sized for our market and responsive to the changing needs of market participants.” The SAR Pilot would be launched through coordinated blanket orders across Canada’s provincial and territorial regulators. These orders would grant exemptions to eligible issuers from certain reporting obligations under National Instrument 51-102, which governs continuous disclosure requirements. The CSA has set a 60-day public comment period for stakeholders to provide feedback on the pilot proposal, which includes a review of the proposed blanket order. That consultation period is scheduled to conclude on December 22, 2025, after which the CSA will assess market sentiment and determine the next steps, including potential formal rulemaking. 3rd party Ad.

This proposal surfaces amid growing international debate about the frequency of corporate reporting and its implications for capital markets. U.S. President Donald Trump reignited the conversation in a September 2025 post on Truth Social, writing, “Companies and Corporations should no longer be forced to ‘Report’ on a quarterly basis (Quarterly Reporting!), but rather to Report on a ‘Six (6) Month Basis.’ This will save money, and allow managers to focus on properly running their companies.” Trump further suggested that such a change could reduce short-term pressures and “allow managers to focus on properly running their companies.” The White House under his leadership had previously asked the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to study the impact of semi-annual reporting back in 2018. While the CSA’s pilot remains voluntary and targeted at smaller issuers, its outcome could influence broader changes in international reporting regimes. With a broader rulemaking process on the horizon, Canada appears poised to test whether less frequent reporting could work without sacrificing investor transparency or market efficiency.

By Wa Lone and Doyinsola Oladipo TORONTO/NEW YORK (Reuters) -Air Canada is betting on business travel to support an expansion of service from Toronto’s downtown airport, with new routes to the United States, in a boost for cross-border flying despite trade tensions between the two countries. Canada’s largest carrier will offer new service in spring 2026 from the country’s largest city and economic hub to New York, Boston, Washington and Chicago, Chief Commercial Officer Mark Galardo told reporters at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. Canadians have been slashing travel plans to the United States over President Donald Trump’s tariff war and concerns over U.S. immigration policy, with airlines like Air Canada and United Airlines cutting capacity on certain U.S.-bound leisure flights. Though the number of returning Canadian-resident trips from overseas countries by air increased 3.9% in September 2025, on an annual basis, the number of returning Canadian-resident trips by air from the United States declined 27.1% during the same period, according to data from Statistics Canada. Air Canada’s longstanding plans to double capacity to the urban airport would not be affected by politics, since business travel between the two countries has remained relatively stable, despite declines on some leisure routes, Galardo said. "One thing we haven’t seen is a reduction in business travel," he said. "In fact, Americans coming to Canada, that number hasn’t dropped, and business travel overall has stayed relatively robust." According to the U.S. National Travel and Tourism Office (NTTO) about half of the business travelers visiting the United States from Canada during the first quarter were from the province of Ontario. 3rd party Ad.

(Corrects paragraph 5 to say unionized baristas were picketing in about 60 cities, not preparing to strike in about 60 cities) (Reuters) -Starbucks baristas’ union said on Thursday it would vote on whether to authorize an unfair labor practice strike at unionized locations to demand that the company return to the negotiating table. Contract talks between the coffee-chain giant and the union, which represents more than 12,000 baristas, began last year, but have hit an impasse. "If they’re ready to come back, we’re ready to talk. Any agreement needs to reflect the reality that Starbucks already offers the best job in retail," Jaci Anderson, Starbucks’ director of corporate communications told Reuters. Last week, New York City’s Comptroller and other Starbucks shareholders wrote to the company to resume talks with its workers’ union. The Starbucks Workers United union said voting will begin on Friday and unionized baristas were picketing in about 60 cities, as they demand a contract that reflects "improved staffing, better pay and on-the-job protections." Union workers represent a small fraction of the company’s U.S. store staff but the voting comes ahead of the crucial holiday season amid CEO Brian Niccol’s turnaround efforts. During the holiday season last year, unionized Starbucks baristas went on a five-day strike, which closed some cafes in Los Angeles, Chicago and Seattle, although the company said there was no significant impact to store operations at the time. 3rd party Ad. Not an offer or recommendation by Investing.com. See disclosure here or remove ads. In April, union delegates voted to reject Starbucks’ proposal that guaranteed annual raises of at least 2%, which the Workers United said did not offer changes to economic benefits such as healthcare or any immediate pay hike. There are over 650 unionized Starbucks stores currently in the U.S., according to the union’s website, up from about 525 in December last year. Most investors will find it hard to answer that question with total confidence.

Investing.com -- UBS upgraded Avery Dennison to Buy from Neutral after the company won a Walmart RFID rollout, which could drive stronger revenue and profit growth in 2026. The analyst expects adjusted EPS to rise about 10% in 2026, reaching 12% longer term, supported by a new Walmart rollout of RFID tags across bakery, meat, and deli sections. This could boost AVY’s RFID sales by more than 10% over two years. RFID still represents about 10% of AVY’s sales but drives sentiment and growth. Sales growth has slowed to roughly 4% in 2025 from historical 15-20% levels, largely due to tariff and trade disruptions. The Walmart fresh food rollout is seen as a catalyst, with estimated 3-5 billion tags potentially raising RFID sales by 10-20%, and Kroger expansion adding another 5%. UBS expects AVY’s RFID growth to exceed 15% starting in the second half of 2026, possibly encouraging wider industry adoption. Core markets remain stable, with UBS forecasting 1% year-on-year growth for core Materials/labels and base apparel in 2026. Avery Dennison reported slightly higher Materials volumes in 3Q, with expectations of growth in higher-value categories in 4Q. Net leverage of about 2x provides room for bolt-on acquisitions or buybacks. Free cash flow is estimated at $800 million, implying roughly a 5% yield at the target price. UBS raised its price target to $218 from $181, reflecting a higher next-twelve-month P/E of 19x versus 17x previously. Estimated NTM EPS increased to $11.35 from $10.85. UBS noted the market currently prices in minimal forward EPS growth compared with their projected 11% CAGR. 3rd party Ad. Not an offer or recommendation by Investing.com.

Investing.com -- U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and Republican congressional leaders warned Thursday that flight disruptions could worsen as the government shutdown enters its 23rd day and air traffic controllers prepare to miss their first full paycheck. Around 13,000 air traffic controllers and approximately 50,000 Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers are required to work without pay during the ongoing government shutdown. Controllers are scheduled to miss their first complete paycheck on Tuesday. Duffy previously reported that air traffic control absences have been responsible for 53% of flight delays since the shutdown began, a significant increase from the normal rate of 5%. The extended shutdown is putting increasing pressure on the U.S. air transportation system as essential personnel continue working without compensation.

Investing.com -- Federal Reserve Governor Michael S. Barr praised the New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) program for its 25-year legacy of economic development in underserved communities during a speech at the 2025 Fall New Markets Tax Credit Conference in New Orleans. Barr highlighted the program’s recent permanent extension as a "historic achievement" that will bring stability and growth to investments in low-income communities. The NMTC provides a 39 percent tax incentive paid over seven years to attract investors to underserved areas. "The NMTC unlocks the undercounted, underappreciated potential of so many communities. That’s good for investors, good for communities, and good for the U.S. economy," Barr said. The program originated in the 1990s as part of President Clinton’s New Markets Initiative, designed to create investment opportunities in domestic underserved communities. Barr, who worked at the Treasury Department during this period, recalled traveling with Clinton to places like Clarksdale, Mississippi, where they met entrepreneurs seeking capital and community lenders working to grow local economies. Barr attributed the program’s success to its broad bipartisan support and comprehensive geographical reach that benefits both rural and urban low-income areas. He noted that when the bill initially passed, Republican lawmaker Jim Talent called it "the most effective anti-poverty package coming out the federal government...in a generation." The Fed governor emphasized that the NMTC functions as a public-private partnership that mobilizes all parts of a community. He stated the program has helped create approximately one million jobs over its 25-year history. 3rd party Ad. Not an offer or recommendation by Investing.com. See disclosure here or remove ads. Barr, who now oversees the Federal Reserve’s community development function, concluded by expressing optimism for the program’s future, saying the conference "can mark the beginning of another 25 years of the NMTC bringing new investment and new opportunity to communities."

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump has pardoned convicted Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, a White House official said on Thursday. In a statement, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump had "exercised his constitutional authority by issuing a pardon for Mr. Zhao, who was prosecuted by the Biden Administration in their war on cryptocurrency." Binance did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Zhao, one of the most powerful people in the crypto world, had to step down as chief of Binance when the company agreed to a $4.3 billion settlement with the U.S. government to end a years-long probe into misconduct at the world’s largest crypto exchange. Trump’s pardon of Zhao paves the way for the crypto mogul to return to the business he helped found in 2017. He has already served his time in prison after a judge sentenced him to four months. Earlier this year, he pardoned the founders of crypto exchange BitMEX in connection with similar anti-money laundering violations and the founder of electric truck company Nikola convicted of fraud. He has also commuted the sentence of the executive of now-defunct start-up Ozy Media. 3rd party Ad. Not an offer or recommendation by Investing.com. See disclosure here or remove ads.

Investing.com -- Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Thursday that General Motors will honor its obligations to workers at an Ontario plant where it is scrapping production of electric vans. "We’re not satisfied with that," Carney told reporters, adding that he wants to see what else could be made at the plant. The Premier of Ontario said GM will be held accountable over its decision to scrap electric van production and suggested the automaker may have a change of mind over the future of the plant. Carney also addressed ongoing trade negotiations with the United States, warning that if Canada doesn’t make progress in sectoral talks, the government will "do what’s necessary to protect our workers." "We will not allow unfair access to our market, if we don’t have access to another market," Carney said, while noting that negotiations haven’t yet reached that critical point.

(Reuters) -JP Morgan on Thursday forecast gold prices reaching an average of $5,055 per ounce by the fourth quarter of 2026, citing expectations of sustained investor interest and steady central bank buying."We believe (gold) has even higher to go as we enter a Fed cutting cycle with overlays of stagflation anxiety, concerns around Fed independence, and broader debasement hedging," the bank said in its note. JP Morgan analysts suggest that foreign holders of U.S. assets are diversifying slightly from U.S. dollars into gold. Natasha Kaneva, JP Morgan’s Head of Global Commodities Strategy, said that while U.S. assets remain "core to their portfolios," companies are finding value in modestly reducing allocations. JP Morgan estimates that a shift reducing U.S. exposure from approximately 45% to 43%, with half a percentage point redirected into gold, could drive the gold price to $6,000. Gold prices have surged nearly 57% year-to-date, driven by geopolitical and economic uncertainty, rate-cut expectations, and sustained central bank buying. The precious metal hit multiple record highs, with the latest on Monday at $4,381.21 per ounce.

By Olena Harmash KYIV (Reuters) -Ukraine’s central bank kept its key policy rate unchanged at 15.5% on Thursday and cut its growth forecast for this year, with Russian strikes on energy infrastructure and wartime staff shortages set to significantly constrain business activity. The central bank cut its forecast for gross domestic product growth to 1.9% in 2025 from the 2.1% expected previously. The growth forecast for 2026 was revised to 2% from 2.3% earlier. "The economy continues to grow, but the growth pace will remain moderate due to the effects of the war," Governor Andriy Pyshnyi told an online media briefing. "The energy deficit caused by the recent destruction of infrastructure and gas production facilities, combined with labour shortages, will significantly limit business activity." RUSSIA ATTACKS POWER SECTOR BEFORE WINTER Russia has attacked the Ukrainian power sector and energy facilities in consecutive winters since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Moscow has again stepped up its missile and drone attacks on energy facilities across Ukraine as winter looms, and hundreds of thousands of people were left without electricity this week following Russian strikes on Kyiv. Pyshnyi said a central bank initiative called "Power banking" would ensure uninterrupted banking services to the population even in the case of long blackouts. Earlier in the war, the central bank and commercial banks set up a network of banking branches across the country, which are equipped with back-up generators and internet access. 3rd party Ad.

"The attacks, their intensity and the depth of the energy system damage have increased. This is the challenge we have prepared for." Pyshnyi said the central bank would stick to relatively tight monetary conditions. He expected that the central bank might start easing its monetary policy in the first quarter of 2026. He said that, despite consumer price inflation slowing in recent months, inflation expectations remained high and inflation risks had grown, particularly those related to energy shortages and higher budgetary needs. Consumer price inflation slowed to 11.9% year-on-year in September, from 13.2% in August, official data showed. The central bank expects inflation to reach 9.2% at the end of 2025 and slow further to 6.6% in 2026 and to a target of 5% in 2027. The central bank has kept its key rate unchanged since March 2025.
