The TSX started the week on a positive note Monday, boosted by stronger precious metal prices, as investors awaited domestic inflation data expected later in the day. U.S. markets also advanced after a mixed performance last week, driven by a significant rotation out of tech stocks and into sectors with more attractive valuations. Traders are also preparing for a busy week of U.S. economic reports.
Commodities showed a mixed performance: gold hovered near a two-month high, copper edged up, while oil and natural gas faced downward pressure. Bitcoin continues to be volatile, slipping lower after recent sharp swings.
