Is confidence in Artificial Intelligence falling? Well investors were shaken by the discounted Chinese AI model causing futures of Canada’s main stock index to fall this morning.

Market Numbers:

TSX : Up (0.14%) 25,468.49
TSXV: Up (0.70%) 621.25
DOW: Down (0.74%) 44,271.00
NASDAQ: Down (3.85%) 21,059.50
FTSE: Down (0.24%) 8,481.62

In the Headlines

The Conference Board of Canada is forecasting the domestic economy will grow 1.5 per cent in 2025 as the potential for U.S. tariffs on Canadian exports and a pullback in immigration weigh on growth. The pace of growth is forecasted to increase to 1.9 per cent in 2026.

And DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup barely a year old, has shaken Silicon Valley by unveiling advanced AI models that rival the performance of top-tier chatbots—at a fraction of the cost. This breakthrough challenges the prevailing notion that AI’s future hinges on escalating energy and resource demands, signaling a potential shift in the industry’s trajectory.
