Laurence Balanco, CLSA, says for him, the three big trades for 2025, which could have a shelf life of 8 to 12 months are Bitcoin, the fintech ETF where we can see a breakout trend and the travel tech ETF, which has also recently broken out. These are major breakouts from basing patterns that have developed over the past two-and-a-half years. How much more for the dollar before it peaks out? I understand that money is moving into dollars right now, but nothing lasts permanently. At 106, 110, 115, where will the dollar find its long-term peak? Laurence Balanco: Yes, it is an important level right now, 106 to 107. It has basically been the top end of the trading range that we have had since the late 2022 lows and if I look at the sentiment now for the dollar index, it is sitting at 83% bulls, that is towards the extended level where we have typically seen the upside momentum stall out at. So, this is a key resistance zone that has capped the upside over the past 18 months. We would look for some hesitation here at least.

Justin Trudeau’s plan to drastically slash immigration targets, but the move has done little to boost his waning popularity, a new poll suggests. Despite three in four respondents agreeing with the immigration reduction, just over half said it has no impact on their impressions of Trudeau, according to a survey by Nanos Research Group for Bloomberg News. Some 17% stated it negatively affected their opinion of the prime minister, while 28% reported a positive impact. Trudeau’s government last month slashed the number of annual permanent-resident admissions by more than 20%, the first cut to a key immigration group in more than a decade.
