Tech optimism continues to dominate after yesterday’s powerful rebound in AI stocks lifted the Nasdaq by 2.7%. Today, markets are mixed: the TSX is lower, while U.S. indices show modest gains except for the Nasdaq, which is slightly weaker after its surge. London’s FTSE is also edging higher.
Currency markets are reacting to softer U.S. payroll data, which pushed the euro above $1.15 before easing back. Bitcoin remains under pressure after its recent selloff, while commodities are mixed—copper is stronger, but crude and natural gas are sliding.
