**US March PCE Index and Federal Reserve FOMC Meeting / Rate Outlook**: As an ETF investing in U.S. equities, ZUQ-F.TO will be directly affected by U.S. inflation data (PCE) and interest rate decisions from the Federal Reserve. Potential interest rate hikes could negatively impact the performance of growth-oriented stocks, which often feature prominently in 'quality' indices.

**Tech Giants Microsoft, Amazon, Meta Report Q1 Earnings Next Week**: ZUQ-F.TO has significant holdings in major technology companies such as Meta Platforms, NVIDIA, Apple, and Microsoft. Their individual earnings performance and future outlook will directly influence the ETF's valuation. Strong earnings could boost the fund, while disappointing results could exert downward pressure.

**Global Market Caution / Middle East Tensions Fuel Oil Price Volatility**: Although ZUQ-F.TO invests in quality U.S. equities, broader global market caution and geopolitical tensions, such as those in the Middle East, can lead to a general 'risk-off' sentiment. This could prompt investors to shift towards safer assets, potentially reducing demand for equity ETFs, even those focused on quality companies.
