The TSX is up 0.48%, while the TSX Venture Index is higher by 1.08%, as Canadian markets rise despite a mixed tone across global equities. U.S. markets are divided, with the Dow up 0.35% while the Nasdaq slips 0.33% as traders balance renewed chip-stock interest against pressure in AI-linked names. London’s FTSE 100 is a standout, climbing 1.33%, as global markets digest another jump in oil prices and continued currency volatility.
Commodities remain central to the morning’s macro setup. Oil is higher as conflict risks threaten key global transit routes, while gold is up sharply as investors maintain defensive exposure. Copper is slightly lower, natural gas is climbing, and Bitcoin is down in Canadian-dollar terms despite Coinbase rallying on hopes for legislative clarity around crypto markets.
