In this episode of Market Insights, Gary Thomson unpacks the strategic implications of the week’s most critical events driving global markets.

👉 Key topics covered in this episode:

• BoE Interest Rate Decision

The BoE’s 6 November meeting was expected to be uneventful — until Goldman Sachs predicted a rate cut, citing weaker inflation, slower growth, and fiscal tightening. Markets still see only a 1-in-3 chance of a cut, but a dovish shift in the MPC vote or outlook could shake the pound. Will the Bank of England surprise the markets this time?

• Canada’s Unemployment Rate

Canada’s unemployment data for October is due on 7 November, after September’s figures showed resilience despite a 7.1% jobless rate — the highest in three years. Analysts now expect a slight uptick to 7.2%. Will weaker unemployment give the Canadian dollar another boost?

• Corporate Earnings Reports

The first week of November brings key reports from Uber, Shopify, and AMD — spanning mobility, e-commerce, and AI hardware. Each could spark short-term market moves as traders gauge consumer demand and tech momentum. Which sector do you think will drive the biggest market reaction?
