TSX falls as inflation pressures build. AutoCanada expands, Eli Lilly leads obesity drugs, oil rises, gold slumps, and natural gas surges.

Markets are under pressure as rising inflation and renewed weakness in technology weigh on sentiment. Canadian equities are lower, with the TSX sliding as concerns mount over slowing economic growth and elevated consumer prices. In the U.S., markets are mixed, with the Dow edging down while the Nasdaq posts modest gains, reflecting continued rotation away from high‑growth names despite occasional rebounds.

Commodities and macro forces are driving the tone. Oil prices are moving higher again amid ongoing geopolitical tensions, supporting energy stocks, while gold is sharply lower as rising inflation expectations fuel concerns around interest‑rate policy. Copper is slipping slightly, natural gas is rising strongly, and Bitcoin is gaining modestly in Canadian‑dollar terms as it stabilizes following recent volatility.
