Markets are moving higher overall as investors position ahead of one of the most anticipated public offerings in years, with SpaceX’s massive IPO drawing global attention. TSX: Canadian equities are advancing, supported by steady gains in both large‑cap and venture stocks, while U.S. markets are mixed with the Dow essentially flat and the Nasdaq pulling back slightly as traders rotate within technology ahead of key developments.

The broader macro picture shows mixed signals. Oil prices are stabilizing after recent volatility tied to Middle East developments, while gold is slipping as investors lean back toward equities. Copper is steady, natural gas is rising modestly, and Bitcoin is edging lower in Canadian‑dollar terms as risk capital continues to favour equities over crypto in the current cycle.
