Canadians are feeling gloomy about their personal finances — and Generation Z is the gloomiest of all.

A veteran Canadian bank analyst says Toronto-Dominion Bank’s role in an alleged money-laundering scheme has made the “worst-case scenario” more likely — a huge fine for the lender and years of restrictions on its U.S. growth.

One forecast we heard recently was that over the next few years (fiscal 2027), the amount of new debt that needs financing in the U.S. economy will push the total debt above US$40 trillion, and the annual cost to finance that debt over $1.5 trillion per year, compounding the problem.

Palantir Technologies Inc. shares slid in extended trading on Monday as the market was unimpressed by the company’s outlook for annual sales after the stock has already tripled in the past year.
