Five Key Trends to Watch in Canadian Business Next Week

28 Oct, 2024

In the upcoming week, keep an eye on significant developments in the Canadian business landscape. On Tuesday, Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem, alongside Senior Deputy Governor Carolyn Rogers, will appear before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance. This session will be crucial as it may shed light on the central bank's stance regarding interest rates and economic forecasts. The duo will continue their discussions on Wednesday at the Standing Senate Committee on Banking, Commerce and the Economy, where they will likely address current financial challenges and future strategies.

On Wednesday, Parkland Corp. will release its quarterly results after market close. This announcement follows recent pressure from major shareholder Simpson Oil Ltd. and U.S. activist investor Engine Capital LP, pushing for a strategic review. Additionally, Parkland has initiated the sale of its retail and commercial businesses in Florida as part of its strategy to divest non-core assets. Investors should watch for insights during the conference call scheduled for Thursday morning, which will discuss the results in detail.

Statistics Canada will provide key economic indicators on Thursday, including the gross domestic product (GDP) figures by industry for August and preliminary estimates for September. These reports will offer a critical view of Canada's economic performance heading into the third quarter, especially as the August data suggested a stagnant GDP.

Lastly, on Friday, Enbridge Inc. will report its third-quarter results and hold a conference call with analysts, discussing its significant $700 million investment in new pipelines for the Kaskida development in the Gulf of Mexico. Also on Friday, Imperial Oil Ltd. will release its quarterly results after facing recent legal challenges, including a fine for environmental violations. Stay tuned for these important updates that could influence market dynamics.
