In this week’s Week Ahead, Avery Shenfeld explores the recent slide in the Canadian dollar and the challenge it poses for the Bank of Canada. While a weaker loonie can lift inflation and support export growth, he notes that the bigger issue is the widening gap between a U.S. economy buoyed by AI-driven investment and a Canadian economy that may be less able to absorb higher interest rates.

In this week’s Week Ahead, Avery Shenfeld looks at how polls and surveys can sometimes give a misleading read on the economy.

He argues that unweighted consumer and business sentiment measures may miss where spending power is concentrated or where sector-specific stress is most severe, a risk that matters as the Bank of Canada weighs mixed signals ahead of its next rate decision.

In this week’s Week Ahead, Avery Shenfeld explores the widening gap between surging U.S. corporate earnings and far more subdued economic growth. He argues that a rising share of income flowing to profits, combined with AI-driven spending and a diminished labour share, is boosting earnings today, but could eventually weaken the household demand needed to sustain broader economic growth.

In this week’s Week Ahead, Avery Shenfeld looks at why markets have moved to price in much more rate tightening than central banks themselves have projected. At the same time, he notes that higher long-term bond yields are already putting pressure on interest-sensitive parts of the economy, which could ultimately reduce the need for policy rates to rise as far as investors now expect.

Happy Birthday to Our Fall Trio!

A very special birthday shoutout to three incredible members of The Jackson Group John Wood, Cameron Sheppard, and Lindsay Willemse!

We had the joy of celebrating all three of our fall birthdays together, and it was a wonderful reminder of just how lucky we are to have such talented and dedicated people on our team.

Wishing you all the very best on your special days. Thank you for everything you bring to the team each and every day. Here's to a fantastic year ahead!

In this week’s Week Ahead, Avery Shenfeld assesses the Fed’s unusually optimistic view that inflation can ease back to target without a rise in unemployment, while warning that higher energy prices, elevated mortgage rates, and slowing interest-sensitive sectors could make that soft landing harder to achieve than policymakers suggest.

09/13/2026

In this week’s Week Ahead, Avery Shenfeld reflects on the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and the enduring Canada-U.S. partnership, while noting that renewed Middle East tensions and higher energy prices may prompt the Fed to move rates higher sooner than expected.

I've had some version of this conversation with nearly every client. "We'll do the big trip once things slow down." And I understand the instinct completely.

But a destination like the Swiss Alps asks something of you physically. The glacial lakes, the alpine meadows, the trails that go just a little further past the cable car. Those experiences belong to the years when your body is still on board.

That's not a reason to worry. It's a reason to plan on purpose.

The clients who build a trip like this into their working years, or into the early years of retirement, tend to look back on it as one of the best-timed decisions they ever made. Not the biggest. The best-timed.

One of our newest team members, Ben Cook, just came back from Switzerland and Oeschinensee was very much a hike, not a drive-up viewpoint. He's twenty-two and did it now because he could.

The same logic applies at every age.

If Switzerland or any active bucket-list destination is sitting on your someday list, it might be worth asking whether someday should actually be sooner.

In this week’s Week Ahead, Avery Shenfeld notes that the US and Japan are facing a common challenge: rising long-term bond yields and tighter fiscal constraints. With slower growth and higher borrowing costs, managing government debt may become much harder.

08/30/2026

In this week’s Week Ahead, Avery Shenfeld makes the case that, even after last week’s breakdown in trade talks, Canada still needs to stay at the table with the U.S.

While reducing that dependence is an important long-term goal, his view is that the immediate priority is to keep dialogue open and work with U.S. allies who also have a stake in avoiding further escalation.
