TSX futures rose before Monday’s market open thanks to strong gold and oil prices, a weakening labour market, as well as positive investor sentiment south of the border following multi-billion-dollar AI deals from the likes of NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD).

TSX: Up (1.03%), 30,471.68.

In the headlines

AMD signed a multi-year deal to provide AI chips to OpenAI representing tens of billions in annual revenue. The deal, beginning in the second half of 2026, offers the company behind ChatGPT the right to take a 10 per cent stake in the chip maker.

And in energy news, OPEC+ settled on a 137,000 barrel per day increase for November, matching October’s hike. Russia advocated for the status quo, fearing price declines, while Saudi Arabia unsuccessfully sought an increase of two to four times that amount in the hopes of adding market share.
