In this week’s episode of Markets in Motion, Bruce Campbell breaks down a market that continues to show strength — even as consumer sentiment sits near levels historically associated with recessions.

Bruce explains why deeply negative sentiment can act as a contrarian signal, often pointing to stronger markets ahead. He takes a closer look at consumer discretionary stocks in both Canada and the U.S., highlighting continued momentum across select names and sector ETFs.

The episode also revisits precious metals, where heightened volatility is creating opportunity despite extended technical readings in gold miners. Rounding out the update, Bruce reviews broad market indicators, small-cap performance, and what investors should watch as earnings season accelerates in the weeks ahead.

Watch the full video for Bruce’s charts, indicators, and insights into where market opportunities may be forming next.
