About this episode
This episode explores the potential for growth in the bull market and the risks that could derail it.
Emerging Market equities are the year's top performer, with Canadian and International equities close behind — leaving U.S. stocks lagging. Will America stage a comeback, or are we entering a new era where global equities take center stage? In this episode of the Global Thinking Podcast host, Rob Duncan, sits down with Forstrong's CEO/CIO, Tyler Mordy, to explore whether the bull market is wired for further growth or primed to blow a fuse. Tariffs, delayed AI profits, and stubborn interest rates loom as short-circuit risks. On the flip side, government spending, easing monetary policy, and market momentum are keeping the rally alive. From Canada's economic challenges to gold fever, and from shifting investor behavior to the future of market leadership, this conversation sparks insights into what's powering investments and what could trip the switch next.
