📈 When 61% of stocks are trading above their 200-day moving average, it's considered a sign of internal market strength. This indicator, known as market breadth, suggests that a majority of stocks are in a long-term uptrend, which is generally a bullish signal for the overall market.

The week before Covid hit, Cineplex traded at $20.41. Today it’s $11.42. An activist investor is pushing for “asset sales” — but for a business that never recovered from Covid, what counts as an asset may be in the eye of the beholder.

Canada just announced it’s dropping many of its retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods. Autos, steel & aluminum remain, but with ~$21B in duties lifted, this feels like a goodwill move. Could this be the prelude to a broader U.S.–Canada trade deal?

This year, the U.S. healthcare sector has seriously lagged the S&P 500. It's the worst performing sector.

But with Trump now backing off the threat of 250% pharma tariffs and capping that at 15% on August 22, this could be the much-needed catalyst to turn things around.
