Market Outlook
May 2006 - Investors are becoming increasingly bullish on equities as the global economy is unquestionably on a solid growth path, in spite of rising interest rates and higher oil prices. The Canadian stock market and the Loonie have clearly benefited from this favorable environment, as the demand for our natural resources has pushed prices even higher and, in a few cases, to what we fear may be unrealistic and unsustainable levels. As a result, energy (30.2%) has now surpassed financials (29.5%) as the largest TSX sector at the end of April. When adding materials (16.3%), the resource sector now accounts for 46.5% of TSX market capitalization. And to no one's surprise, that is what has been driving performance so far this year.
