With the frantic pace of the news cycle it is hard to keep up with what is going on in the world. Journalists do a wonderful job at summarizing events around the world, but don’t always have the economic background to puzzle out the financial implications. We and our colleagues at RBC are your subject matter experts on this, and so we thought we would share some of the places and favourite people you can follow.
Market News
On our website we share Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Annual articles in the ‘Increase Your Knowledge’ tab. The ‘Commentary’ articles are also available in English/French and by request in Traditional or Simplified Chinese.
There is an issue for each type of investor;
- Daily for those that want the deep dive with daily headlines and individual stock analysis.
- Weekly investigates the biggest global headline, followed by a look at international markets by region.
- Monthly shares one broad theme along with forecasts for each market segment.
- With the broadest brush the Annual outlook shares the theme for the coming year.
If that hasn’t satisfied your news thirsts, please visit these other RBC sites:

Not just Market News
It’s not all about finance! There is the vigorously maintained ‘Discover’ page on our parent site Royal Bank.
RBC provides high quality interest pieces on travel, life, homes, community, and retirement.
Our favourite series is the below ‘Innovation and Perspective’ page. https://discover.rbcroyalbank.com/innovation-perspective/
There is a reason for the title and you will find some ‘CBC Ideas’ quality articles that dive into our changing nation complete with a podcast.
These 25 minute podcasts explore our future with people like Ottawa’s own Harley Finkelstein from Shopify. They examine other topics like the human brain, the future of farming and mental health
We hope that we have given you some new places to peep around (or peer into). When you do, let us know what you think!
