  "macro_notes": "Energy: Suncor Q1 2026 beat — C$2.1B net income, record upstream production, buyback raised to C$4B (reported May 7). WTI direction and Wednesday EIA inventory report remain key catalysts for energy sector. Financials: National Bank (NA.TO) hit all-time high C$206.16 on May 1 after Q1 EPS of CAD 3.25 beat by 9%; Globe and Mail TSX breakouts column highlighted broad bank sector strength through early May. Materials/Gold: Barrick Mining (ABX.TO) earnings due May 11 — gold-sector names on hold this scan. Gold miners saw strong Q1 2026 gains but RSIs are elevated across the sector. Clean Energy: Ballard Power (BLDP.TO) surged 31.4% on May 5 post-Q1 results (revenue +26%, first gross margin improvement); now overbought (RSI 76.41, CCI 271.87) — not a swing entry. Bank of Canada rate path and Canadian housing data remain near-term catalysts for the financials sector (XFN).",
