Canadian actions have assaulted new maximums in recent weeks and analysts say it is a trend that will continue as global investors look beyond the United States.
The world after the pandemic has been marked by military conflicts, growing populism and growing tax pressures in advanced economies that are normally seen only in emerging markets, said Desjardins Group analysts.
Economic and geopolitical uncertainty has baffled investors and in this context, the S&P/TSX compound index is acting as a “coverage against institutional fragility,” wrote the team led by the chief economist of Desjardins Jimmy Jean.
Since Donald Trump was elected president, the proportion of foreign countries that buy US treasures has fallen sharply, and investors show more interest in Canadian long -term bonds, analysts said.
“As the foreign interest in the United States Treasury bonds decreases, Canada has become a winner,” wrote the macro strategist of Desjardins Tiago Figueedo.
Investors these days seek more and more security. One only has to look at the gold, which today reached another record of almost US $ 4,000 per ounce amid the concerns that the closure of the United States federal government would extend. This traditional safe shelter has increased 50 percent this year.
Canadian shares “move together with global gold prices as investors seek protection against possible American dollar degradations,” analysts said.
The fund flows to Canadian actions has surpassed US funds and the materials sector, which represents only 16 percent of the TSX, led almost a third of the yields, even exceeding finances that have twice as much weight.
“In an environment where institutional risks and macro volatility remain high, this bond with hard assets has become a key differentiator for Canadian actions, despite the fact that force has spread beyond basic products,” they said.
And unlike S&P 500, where profits have concentrated around a handful of technological actions, the Canada rally has been wide with approximately 80 percent of companies in the TSX that publish positive yields this year.
“That concentration, together with the low performance in broader American actions, can be a reason why investors have increasingly resorted to Canadian actions, which offer both diversification and the participation of the most balanced sector,” they said.
Canadians are one of the greatest foreign holders of US actions, mainly due to national pension funds, but more of this institutional money could begin to flow north under the plan of Prime Minister Mark Carney to accelerate important infrastructure projects.
Bloomberg reports that analysts see the main impulse of the Ottawa project as a larger positive catalyst for the TSX than the tariff cuts of the Bank of Canada and hope they help the index to continue surpassing the S&P 500.
“Canada has been invested worldwide for years,” Greg Taylor, an investment director of Penderfund Capital Management Ltd.
The delivery of a federal budget responsible on November 4 will be crucial to maintain the vision of investors on stability, said Desjardins analysts.
“If Canada can continue to be the ‘cleaner dirty shirt in the laundry basket’ when it comes to the fiscal sustainability of the G7, there is a wide range for more investors to establish more money in federal and provincial bonds,” said Figueiredo.

The aversion of the Canadians to travel to the United States at this time is promoting the economy, said Sal Guatieri, a senior economist of BMO Capital Markets.
The latest travel data showed that return trips fell more than 32 percent last year until July, “without signals of change,” he said.
The return trips have fallen almost 36 percent, while air trips have fallen 16 percent.
Americans have made 3 percent less trips to Canada so far this year, but this has been compensated for a leap in visits from other countries, which rise more than 8 percent.
“The” Buy Canada “movement does not seem to be uploading, suggesting that consumers will provide timely support to the economy again this quarter according to the previous one,” said Guatieri.
