Budget 2026 Lands Nov. 5: What to Do (and Not Do) With Your RRSP and TFSA First

  CANADIAN MONEY BRIEF  |  FEATURE  |  OCT. 23, 2026 The federal budget is 13 days away, tax-reform calls are getting louder, and “act now” headlines are about to pile up. Here’s what is actually confirmed, what is just lobbying, and what to leave alone. Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne told the House of Commons on Oct. 20 that Budget 2026 will be tabled on Nov. 5 . It is the second budget since the Liberals moved the fiscal plan to the fall, and it lands two days after the U.S. midterm elections. Between now and then, expect a flood of speculation about RRSPs, TFSAs and capital gains. Before you move a dollar, it helps to separate three things: what’s confirmed, what’s being asked for, and what the rules say today.

Market Watch: Investors Brace for Nvidia's Earnings Amid Market Slump

The stock market saw a slight downturn on Wednesday as investors eagerly awaited Nvidia's earnings report, a key indicator for the tech sector. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite all slipped by more than 0.1%, reflecting cautious sentiment ahead of the chipmaker’s highly anticipated results.

Nvidia’s earnings report is expected to provide crucial insights into the demand for AI-related technology, which has been a driving force behind recent market optimism. Analysts predict that if Nvidia surpasses expectations and delivers a strong outlook, it could trigger a broader rally across major indices.

Meanwhile, retail stocks showed mixed performance, with Abercrombie & Fitch surging over 24% following a positive quarterly report, while Macy’s posted modest gains despite revising its 2025 outlook due to tariff uncertainties. Investors are also keeping an eye on the Federal Reserve’s meeting minutes, set to be released later in the day, for further economic insights.

With Nvidia’s earnings looming large, Wall Street remains on edge, hoping for a positive signal that could reinvigorate market momentum.
