Markets are rallying strongly as optimism around a U.S.–Iran ceasefire fuels a global risk‑on move. Canadian equities are advancing, with both the TSX and Venture climbing as investors rotate back into equities and cyclical sectors. U.S. markets are also higher, with the Dow and Nasdaq both pushing upward as traders respond to easing geopolitical tensions and renewed confidence in global growth.
The shift in sentiment is clearly visible across asset classes. Oil prices are falling sharply as supply risk premiums unwind, while gold is surging as investors reposition amid ongoing uncertainty around the durability of the peace deal. Copper is higher on improved growth expectations, natural gas is also rising, and Bitcoin is rebounding strongly, climbing back toward recent highs as crypto regains momentum alongside equities.
