Investing.com — The Canadian dollar edged lower against the U.S. dollar on Thursday, with the loonie trading near a one-week low as a firmer greenback kept pressure on the currency ahead of closely watched Federal Reserve commentary. The loonie was last down about 0.06% at C$1.3885 per U.S. dollar, equivalent to roughly 72.02 U.S. cents.

A ready-made duplex typically commands a premium in the purchase price compared to a single residential home.

This is a common way for buyers to narrow the affordability gap, a strategy known as “house hacking.” By living in one unit and renting out another, a homeowner can use rental income to help cover the mortgage and other…

The following is an overview of the fintech ecosystem and its relation to wider economic development of Canada in 2026.    Canada should have been an open-banking pioneer. It has one of the world’s most developed financial systems, near-universal access to banking, a highly connected population and Toronto is one of North America’s largest financial centres. The country has also produced internationally recognised technology companies and one of the world’s most successful home-grown fintechs. Yet in one important respect, Canada has been surprisingly slow. While Britain introduced open banking years ago and countries from Brazil to India developed increasingly sophisticated…

Right now, the bond market is listening more closely to Paris. The Euro’s Problem Is France The had every excuse to bounce on the latest ECB messaging, yet it never really got going. The account of the ECB’s July meeting was unmistakably hawkish around the edges. While the Governing Council unanimously paused with the deposit rate at 2.25%, some members said they would not have opposed another hike and argued there was a low likelihood that further tightening would ultimately prove unnecessary. Markets were already close to fully pricing a September increase. In normal circumstances, that is decent fuel for…
