Episode 9 of The Market This Month is live! Powered by the Canadian Securities Exchange in partnership with Stockhouse, host Anna Serin and StoneCastle Investment Management’s Bruce Campbell return with insights on resurging trading volumes, commodity strength, and the full risk-on mood sweeping small-cap markets.

Spotlight topic: Canada’s markets roar back to life — the CSE saw a 74% year-over-year surge in trading volume, reflecting renewed investor confidence across gold, base metals, and battery materials. Anna and Bruce unpack what’s driving this powerful rebound and why investors are rediscovering opportunities in junior exploration and emerging tech.
