12 ETFs to Consider as Market Volatility Surges

from The Canadian Investor · host Braden Dennis & Simon Belanger

Markets remain highly volatile as the Iran conflict drives one of the largest oil supply disruptions in decades. We break down what’s happening in energy markets, why this shock could last longer than expected, and how it may impact global growth, inflation, and investor portfolios. We then shift to actionable ideas, discussing ETFs and sectors that could help navigate this environment, including energy, utilities, consumer staples, and defense. We also explain why Canadian oil producers like Canadian Natural Resources, Suncor, and Cenovus may be particularly well positioned given the current backdrop. Finally, we debate Wealthsimple’s new prediction markets feature and whether it crosses the line from investing into gambling. Is this just the evolution of retail investing—or a step too far?
