RBC Teams Up with Cohere For GenAI Financial Solutions: Details

RBC Partners With Cohere To Co-develop And Deploy An Enterprise Generative AI Solution Optimized For Financial Services

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has been in power for nearly 10 years, announced his resignation Monday.
Trudeau said he will step down after the Liberal Party selects its new leader and said the Parliament will be suspended until March 24.
"I care deeply about this country and I will always be motivated by what is in the best interests of Canadians. And the fact is, despite best efforts to work through it, Parliament has been paralyzed for months after what has been the longest session of a minority Parliament in Canadian history," he said. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Canada Stocks To Watch With Trump Tariff Threats, Trudeau Exit On Horizon </h2>
U.S.-traded stocks of major Canadian companies, particularly in the financial and energy sectors, could experience volatility due to this political upheaval. Mexico, Canada and China — the three countries U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has targeted for tariffs — are the U.S.'s top three trading partners.
Canadian banking institutions traded in the U.S. include the : Royal Bank of Canada (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RY#NYSE">RY</a>), Toronto-Dominion Bank (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TD#NYSE">TD</a>), Bank of Montreal (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMO#NYSE">BMO</a>) and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CM#NYSE">CM</a>).

In the tech sector, Ottawa-based Shopify Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NYSE">SHOP</a>) is trading up 3.7%.
Trudeau's announcement comes shortly after the resignation of Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, who <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42520833/trudeaus-government-loses-a-top-negotiator-ahead-of-trumps-second-term">stepped down</a> in mid-December due to disagreements with Trudeau&#8217;s spending proposals. Freeland, who also served as deputy prime minister, left the cabinet because she believed Trudeau was not taking adequate measures to prepare for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42475000/if-trump-starts-a-trade-war-canada-could-impose-export-taxes-on-oil-uranium-report">potential trade war</a> with Washington.

UPDATE: Royal Bank Of Canada Q3 Adj, EPS $2.38 Beats $2.16 Estimate, Sales $10.69B Beat $10.56B Estimate

Nadine Ahn, former CFO of Royal Bank of Canada (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RY#NYSE">RY</a>), reportedly filed a wrongful termination lawsuit, alleging her dismissal was influenced by &#8220;gender-based stereotyping.&#8221;
Notably, in April, Royal Bank Of Canada terminated Ahn after an investigation revealed she had an undisclosed close personal relationship with another executive, which led to preferential treatment, including promotions and salary <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/38120104" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">increases for the executive</a>.
Royal Bank Of Canada said Ahn&#8217;s claims are without merit and it would vigorously defend against them in court, reported Reuters.
RBC said, &#8220;The facts are very clear that there was a significant breach of our code of conduct based on the irrefutable evidence collected during the investigation,&#8221; which the report quoted.
In a lawsuit filed on August 8 with the Ontario Superior Court, Ahn, 53, argued that RBC&#8217;s claims are &#8220;patently false&#8221; and that the bank&#8217;s actions have irreparably harmed her career and reputation.
She is seeking nearly C$50 million ($36.38 million) in damages from RBC. Also, Ken&nbsp;Mason, who denies having a close personal relationship with Ahn, is suing RBC for approximately C$20 million for wrongful termination, per the report.
Ahn&#8217;s lawyer wrote in the lawsuit that, &#8220;(RBC) failed to provide her with a fair opportunity to respond to the allegations, and the bank was, at least in part, motivated by stereotypical assumptions concerning friendships between women and men.&#8221;
The report noted Ahn further claimed she was &#8220;ambushed&#8221; by RBC&#8217;s external counsel on April 5, interrogated for two hours, and had her laptop and both work and personal cellphones confiscated.
The lawsuit claims RBC did not provide Ahn with a copy of the co-worker&#8217;s complaint or details of the allegations against her and refused to let her postpone the meeting to seek legal advice.
Ahn also claimed that RBC had already decided to replace her, as it announced her dismissal and Katherine Gibson&#8217;s appointment as interim CFO on the same evening.
Price Action: RY traded higher by 0.26% at $108.54 at the last check Tuesday.
