The TSX is down 0.84%, while the TSX Venture Index is down 2.70%, as Canadian markets react sharply to a weak jobs report showing Canada lost 84,000 positions in February, pushing unemployment to 6.7%. The Dow gained 0.63% and the Nasdaq rose 0.57% as U.S. markets attempted to rebound from Thursday’s tech-led rout, though traders remain cautious following oil’s best day since the early COVID era and fresh warnings about global economic fragility.
Oil continues to dominate sentiment after wild intraday swings toward US$120 earlier in the week, before pulling back to the mid‑$90s as Middle East tensions and shifting supply expectations drive extreme volatility. Gold climbed as traders remained on high alert, while copper edged lower. Bitcoin topped US$72,000 before moderating, trading higher in Canadian-dollar terms as crypto markets diverged from traditional asset stress.
