In the headlines
Analysts expect Canada’s Big Six banks to deliver increased fiscal year-end profits this week thanks to higher fee-based income, pronounced market volatility and strong equity returns. Scotiabank will publish on Tuesday, followed by RBC and National Bank on Wednesday, and TD, BMO and CIBC on Thursday.
Besides bank earnings, another clear catalyst for the TSX’s continued ascent is global gold and copper miner Barrick Mining (TSX:ABX), which announced on Monday that it is considering a potential IPO of its North American assets. The company is the largest gold producer in the United States. The news follows activist investor Elliott Investment Management announcing a stake in the company and a proposed turnaround plan, including a potential breakup.
