Canada’s main stock index saw decent on Tuesday as investor sentiment weakened due to diminishing hopes for a trade agreement between the US and the European Union. Meanwhile, traders are still watching corporate earnings to gauge how President Donald Trump’s tariffs are affecting businesses.
In the US, markets also remained relatively flat following record highs for the S&P 500 and NASDAQ Composite on Monday. Investors are now turning their attention to earnings reports from major tech firms, with Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG) (Google’s parent company) and Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) set to release results on Wednesday. These reports will mark the beginning of earnings season for the “Magnificent Seven” tech giants, which are expected to drive a substantial portion of overall profit growth.
