The TSX is higher this morning, with the TSX Venture Index also edging up, as Canadian markets track global risk appetite driven by fresh record highs in U.S. equities. The Nasdaq continues to lead as investors push through inflation concerns and stay focused on artificial intelligence growth stories. In contrast, U.K. markets are under pressure, with the FTSE 100 slipping as global investors rotate away from Europe.
Commodities are mixed. Oil prices are sharply lower after recent spikes, as markets weigh geopolitical headlines against hopes for more stable crude flows. Gold is easing slightly after a strong run, copper is modestly lower, and natural gas is under pressure. Bitcoin is higher in Canadian‑dollar terms, continuing to benefit from momentum and speculative inflows tied to the broader AI‑led risk rally.
