The TSX is up 0.32%, while the TSX Venture Index is higher by 0.60%, as calm returns to global markets and investors look past the worst of the recent oil shock. U.S. trading is more mixed: the Dow is essentially flat, the Nasdaq is up 0.56%, and the FTSE 100 is higher by 0.65% as Wall Street digests a 900‑point intraday swing in the Dow and a pullback in crude prices from extreme levels. Reports of oil easing back below US$90 per barrel and signals from Washington that the Iran conflict may be “very complete” have helped ease some of the worst tail‑risk fears.
Commodities are stabilizing but remain central to the narrative. U.S. crude is up another 3.41%, while gold is 1.45% higher as war jitters keep safe‑haven demand in play. Copper is modestly firmer and natural gas is down about 3%, reflecting a partial unwind of the earlier panic. Bitcoin is up 2.34% in Canadian‑dollar terms, extending a recent run as some traders treat it as an alternative risk asset while they reassess the global energy and interest‑rate backdrop.
