The TSX is down 0.16%, and the Venture is lower by 1.20% as markets absorb a mix of tech optimism and geopolitical tension. U.S. markets are mixed, with the Nasdaq up as traders rotate back into tech ahead of major earnings, while the Dow lags following a heavy drop in UnitedHealth. Broader sentiment remains cautious after the S&P 500’s recent volatility linked to tariff threats and the evolving “Sell America” narrative.

Commodity markets are active: silver continues its rally on Chinese buying and tightening supply, while canola demand has picked up after Canada’s recent trade progress with Beijing. Gold is pushing higher again as safe‑haven flows dominate, and oil is supported by ongoing supply concerns. Traders are also watching political developments as Carney’s China trade diplomacy and renewed tariff rhetoric shape cross‑border sentiment.
