Small caps: comeback ahead?

What could bring investors back to smaller companies? In the October edition of The Market this Month, host Anna Brynelsen and Bruce Campbell explore the conditions that could help market leadership broaden—and the role of energy prices, inflation and interest rates in shaping that outlook.

With large caps in the spotlight, Bruce discusses why moderating rates could renew interest in smaller companies and their earnings potential. They also explore:

• How strong energy prices affect inflation, business costs and investor sentiment.
• What could help precious and base metals gain momentum as materials enter a seasonally stronger period.
• Cannabis consolidation and the potential implications of U.S. rescheduling for the sector.

Anna also highlights September’s new CSE listings, significant issuer financings and an international milestone: Gladiator Metals’ debut on the National Stock Exchange of Australia (NSX) through its Low Doc Dual Listing process, trading under the symbol GM1.

Watch the full episode, presented in partnership with Stockhouse, for a closer look at the forces shaping Canada’s junior and small cap markets—and what Anna and Bruce are watching next.
