Bar chart showing gold miners rising and Canadian bank shares falling on the TSX, led by a 2.8 percent gain for Franco-Nevada.

Canadian bank shares and gold-linked miners moved in opposite directions this week, with Franco-Nevada leading gainers at 2.8 percent as bullion traded near a two-month high, while Big Five bank shares declined alongside a renewed climb in Government of Canada bond yields. The split illustrates the availability heuristic: client conviction tends to follow whichever headline landed most recently, gold's safe-haven story or banks' rate sensitivity, rather than either sector's underlying fundamentals.
