Markets opened mixed this morning as investors digested strong Canadian GDP data and global rate-cut speculation. The TSX is slightly higher after Canada’s economy grew 2.6% in Q3, beating expectations in what analysts call a “noisy report.” In the U.S., the Dow and Nasdaq are modestly higher following yesterday’s tech-led rally, while London’s FTSE is slightly weaker.

Gold prices broke resistance as traders ramp up bets on interest rate cuts, while Bitcoin is gaining ground after recent volatility. Meanwhile, CME Group restored most operations after an hours-long outage, calming concerns in futures and forex markets.
