About this episode
The US Department of Justice has opened a probe into Jerome Powell and markets are interpreting it as a direct challenge to the independence of the Fed by Trump.
We then break down Aritzia’s latest blowout quarter, highlighting rapid U.S. expansion, strong margins despite tariffs, and why execution continues to separate it from peers. We also cover Minto REIT being taken private at a 32% premium, why the deal is less compelling than it appears, and what it signals for Canada’s apartment REIT market.
Finally, we discuss if capping credit card rates at 10% would be good for consumers or if it risks backfiring for borrowers and banks, and how payment networks like Visa and Mastercard could be affected.
Tickers discussed: ATZ.TO, MI.UN.TO, V, MA, AXP
