The TSX is up 2.61%, while the TSX Venture Index is surging 5.38%, as Canadian equities rally sharply on renewed risk appetite and a broad rebound in global stocks. U.S. markets are also firmly higher, with the Dow up 0.80% and the Nasdaq gaining 0.92%, as investors react to easing war fears and signs that the recent selloff may have overshot fundamentals. London’s FTSE 100 is participating in the rebound as well, up 0.69%.
Commodities are mixed following extreme volatility. Oil is pulling back more than 2.5% after recent spikes tied to Middle East tensions, while gold is rebounding strongly, up 1.65%, as traders rotate back into safe‑haven assets. Copper is modestly lower, natural gas is slipping, and Bitcoin is edging higher in Canadian‑dollar terms, extending a recovery after snapping its multi‑month losing streak.
