Markets are rebounding after a sharp selloff, with Canadian equities leading gains as the TSX climbs and the Venture index also moves higher. U.S. markets are recovering as well, with both the Dow and Nasdaq bouncing back after what was described as the worst day in over a year. Investors are cautiously stepping back into risk assets, supported by improving sentiment in technology and chipmakers.
Commodities and macro signals are mixed. Oil prices are rising again following renewed Middle East tensions, while gold remains under pressure near multi‑week lows after a sharp selloff. Copper is climbing on underlying demand strength, natural gas is slightly lower, and Bitcoin is essentially flat in Canadian‑dollar terms as it stabilizes above key technical levels after recent volatility.
