    Recession or Prosperity: What signs are we are getting from the U.S. labor market?

    As demographic headwinds, housing constraints, and shifting labor market dynamics raise important questions for the U.S. economic outlook, understanding how policy, migration, and technological change intersect with growth is critically important. In our conversation with Dr. Adam Ozimek, Chief Economist at the Economic Innovation Group, we explore the evolving landscape of the U.S. labor market, the long-run impact of demographics on entrepreneurship and productivity, and the structural challenges in housing and infrastructure that are holding back economic dynamism. Dr. Ozimek also shares his views on how AI is likely to shape the labor market, and why increasing high-skill immigration could be a powerful lever to boost growth. -- Please visit https://www.canaccordgenuity.com/capital-markets/expertise/research-and-strategy/ for more details on Canaccord Genuity Research and send all inquiries to strategicinsights@cgf.com.   This content is for informational purposes only and should not be taken as legal, business, financial or investment advice.

    Iran, Taiwan, and the Future of U.S. Power: A Conversation with Dmitri Alperovitch, Co-Founder and Chairman of Silverado Policy Accelerator

    As geopolitical tensions intensify across multiple regions, understanding the strategic motivations behind U.S. foreign policy and great-power competition has become increasingly important. In our conversation with Dmitri Alperovitch, Co-Founder and Chairman of the Silverado Policy Accelerator, a D.C.-based think tank focused on trade, technology and national security and Co-Founder and former CTO of CrowdStrike, we examine the evolving global landscape: from the Iran conflict and oil markets to the long-term strategic challenge posed by China. Mr. Alperovitch argues that the current administration’s foreign policy is often mischaracterized as isolationist; instead, it reflects a transactional approach focused on securing strategic advantages and demonstrating U.S. dominance. We discuss the recent strikes on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, the concern around the country’s ballistic missile program, and why the conflict may be nearing its end as U.S. objectives shift toward reopening the Strait of Hormuz and stabilizing energy markets. Finally, Mr. Alperovitch shares his perspective on China’s ambitions toward Taiwan, explaining why the decision ultimately rests with President Xi Jinping and how the conflict could trigger a global economic shock. -- Please visit https://www.canaccordgenuity.com/capital-markets/expertise/research-and-strategy/ for more details on Canaccord Genuity Research and send all inquiries to strategicinsights@cgf.com.   This content is for informational purposes only and should not be taken as legal, business, financial or investment advice.

    Building Robots That Care: A Conversation with Colin Angle

    Navigating the Trump Administration: A Conversation with Stephen Myrow of Beacon Policy Advisors

    As the Trump administration enters the second year of the President’s nonconsecutive term and attention turns to the 2026 midterms, policy risk remains elevated in rhetoric but more limited in execution. In our conversation with Stephen Myrow, founder of Beacon Policy Advisors, we focus on separating political messaging from actionable policy at a time when that distinction matters most for investors. Stephen outlines the administration’s key priorities—affordability, tariffs, and energy—arguing that affordability is largely a messaging issue, tariffs remain central despite inflation risks, and energy policy is likely to lean further toward fossil fuel deregulation. We also discuss the midterm outlook, where a Democratic flip of the House appears likely and would constrain major policy change, while the Senate remains more evenly balanced. Finally, Stephen shares insights on longer-term themes including Fed independence, U.S.–China trade tensions, critical minerals, and healthcare policy risks heading into 2026. -- Please visit https://www.canaccordgenuity.com/capital-markets/expertise/research-and-strategy/ for more details on Canaccord Genuity Research and send all inquiries to strategicinsights@cgf.com.   This content is for informational purposes only and should not be taken as legal, business, financial or investment advice.
