Markets are mixed as investors digest ongoing weakness in technology and crypto‑linked equities. The TSX is slightly lower, with declines in large‑cap names weighing on the index, while the TSX Venture Index is also under pressure, reflecting softer sentiment in smaller growth stocks. In the U.S., the Dow is holding modest gains above the 53,000 level, while the Nasdaq is sharply lower as tech stocks face renewed selling pressure.
The broader macro picture remains volatile. Gold is stabilizing after recent declines, while oil prices are holding steady. Copper is little changed, reflecting uncertain industrial demand, while natural gas is trending higher. Bitcoin is notably weaker in Canadian‑dollar terms, reflecting continued pressure on crypto markets as liquidity shifts toward equities and risk appetite remains uneven.
