Canada’s economy is flashing mixed signals: jobs are harder to land, the TSX hit record highs thanks to gold stocks, and Wealthsimple confirmed a small client data breach. Here’s what it all means for Canadians and investors.

The TSX climbed +0.53% last week, with healthcare, telecom, and gold stocks leading the way. Investors now expect steady rates in September and a possible cut in October. All eyes are on Canada’s inflation report this Tuesday.
