In the headlines

Powell sparks pullback – The S&P 500 retreated from record levels after Jerome Powell warned valuations look “fairly high.” The remarks tempered market sentiment, sending the Nasdaq down 0.7% and cooling momentum from last week’s highs.

Dogecoin ETF underwhelms – Hopes for a crypto boost fell flat as the first Dogecoin ETF drew only US$8 million in inflows. DOGE slipped on the news, underscoring weak investor appetite for meme-coin products despite broader crypto gains earlier this year.

Hudbay halts Peru mine – Hudbay Minerals Inc (TSX:HBM) temporarily shut down operations at its Constancia mine in Peru due to unrest. The company said full-year guidance remains unaffected, but the stoppage highlights ongoing risks for Canadian miners operating in Latin America.
