Canadian dollar rebounds as Fed keeps rate cuts on the table
The Canadian dollar strengthened against its U.S. counterpart on Wednesday, clawing back some of the previous day's sharp decline, as the Federal Reserve's signaling about prospects for interest rate cuts was not as hawkish as some investors had feared. The loonie was trading 0.5% higher at 1.3710 to the U.S. dollar, or 72.94 U.S. cents, after it touched intraday on Tuesday an 11-day low at 1.3784. The currency has been pressured in recent weeks by a wider gap between U.S. and Canadian yields as investors anticipated a delayed start to Fed rate cuts.

TD Bank hit with $9.2M penalty after failing to report suspicious transactions
TORONTO — Canada’s financial-crime watchdog has levied a $9.2-million penalty against The Toronto-Dominion Bank for non-compliance with money laundering and terrorist financing measures as the bank also faces compliance investigations in the U.S. The penalty by the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada, or Fintrac, comes after it imposed a $7.5-million fine against RBC and a $1.3-million fine against CIBC, both of which were announced in December. Those penalties were also

There's a limit to how much interest rates in Canada and U.S. can diverge: Macklem
Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem says Canadian interest rates don't have to match U.S. or global rates, but there is a limit to how much they can diverge. Macklem made the comments while testifying before the House of Commons finance committee today. The governor says Canada is nowhere close to the limit when it comes to how much Canadian and American interest rates can differ. The Bank of Canada is widely expected to begin lowering its policy rate in the coming months, while forecasters exp

Air Canada pins hopes on business travellers after profits fall
MONTREAL — Canadian airlines have enjoyed a two-year boom amid consumer hunger for post-pandemic travel. But as that pent-up demand recedes, the country's largest carrier hopes to ramp up ticket sales to corporate customers instead. Until recently, the travel surge that followed COVID-19 restrictions failed to reach the business world, where pandemic habits of video conferencing and remote work proved tough to shake. But Air Canada, which reported a first-quarter earnings loss on Thursday, perce

Trump raises stake in his media firm to nearly 65%
The former U.S. president and Republican presidential candidate secured 36 million shares of Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), increasing his stake from 57.6% as of March. Reuters reported last week that Trump would secure a stock bonus worth $1.3 billion from TMTG, equivalent to about half the majority stake he already owns in it, thanks to the wild rally in its shares. The bonus also reflects the exuberant trading in TMTG's shares, which have been on a roller coaster ride since the company listed on Nasdaq last month through a merger with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) and was snapped up by Trump supporters and speculators.
