Markets are mixed to start the week as investors brace for Apple’s high-profile hardware event and keep an eye on inflation data and elevated oil prices. The TSX is down 0.42% to 36,361.21, while the TSX Venture Index is holding up better, edging up 0.05% to 965.86. In the U.S., the Dow is down 0.21% and the Nasdaq is off 0.22%, with S&P 500 futures slipping as oil prices and inflation data keep traders cautious, while London’s FTSE 100 bucks the trend, up 0.28%.
Oil is a standout mover, with WTI up 1.31%, while gold is down slightly at 0.22% and Bitcoin has pulled back 1.85% to just above C$107,000. Copper is also firmer, up 1.84%. The Canadian dollar is stronger against the U.S. dollar, pound, and euro, but softer against the yen, which touched a seven-month high near ¥153 as a Bank of Japan rate hike is nearly fully priced in. Trade tensions are also back in focus after Canada’s retaliatory tariffs of up to 50% on $20 billion in U.S. goods took effect as talks with Washington stall.
