In this episode, we break down Canada’s April CPI print, which came in below 2% largely due to the removal of the consumer carbon tax. We explain why this drop is likely temporary and what core inflation measures are still signaling to the Bank of Canada. We also discuss Moody’s long-anticipated downgrade of U.S. government debt, how it compares to past downgrades, and what surging bond yields mean for investors on both sides of the border.

In company news, Dan shares his take on Boyd Group’s latest results, including why he’s still holding despite near-term headwinds. We also cover Canadian Tire’s earnings, consumer credit data, and what it tells us about the average Canadian household. Finally, we look at South Bow’s first-quarter results post-spinout from TC Energy and assess the sustainability of its high dividend yield.

Tickers of stocks discussed: CTC-A.TO, BYD.TO, SOBO.TO
