The TSX is up 0.18%, while the TSX Venture Index is higher by 0.93%, as Canadian markets advance alongside a broad global relief rally driven by hopes of de‑escalation in the Middle East. U.S. equities are also moving higher, with the Dow up 0.57% and the Nasdaq gaining 0.18%, as investors respond to falling oil prices and renewed optimism around potential U.S.–Iran talks. The FTSE 100 is up nearly one percent, reflecting improved risk appetite across European markets.
Commodities are central to the day’s narrative.

Copper is slightly lower, natural gas is down modestly, and Bitcoin is pushing higher, up nearly 2% in Canadian‑dollar terms, as crypto markets respond positively to stabilizing macro conditions.
