The TSX is down 1.53%, while the TSX Venture Index is sharply lower by 3.91%, as Canadian markets sell off amid renewed pressure on global equities and persistent geopolitical risk tied to the Iran war. U.S. markets are also under heavy pressure, with the Dow down more than 1% and the Nasdaq sliding into correction territory, now more than 10% off its recent peak. Investors are pulling back from risk assets as oil prices move higher again and inflation concerns resurface.
Commodities and macro volatility continue to dominate sentiment. Oil is up nearly 2.5% as supply risks persist, while gold is rebounding almost 1% as investors seek partial shelter after a brutal selloff. Copper is modestly higher, natural gas is surging more than 3%, and Bitcoin is sharply lower, down over 3% in Canadian‑dollar terms, reflecting a defensive shift among crypto traders.

In the headlines
- Meta plunges after losing child‑safety cases: Meta Platforms (TSX:META) — the social‑media and digital‑advertising giant behind Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp — fell sharply after losing two high‑profile court cases related to child‑safety issues. The rulings raise legal and regulatory risks for Meta as scrutiny around online harm and platform accountability intensifies.
- Netflix edges higher after raising prices again: Netflix (TSX:NFLX) — the world’s largest streaming‑video platform — gained about 1% after announcing another round of price increases. Investors appear to be betting that Netflix’s pricing power and subscriber loyalty can offset churn risks and support long‑term revenue growth.
