Canada’s main stock index regained some ground lost before the weekend on Monday, thanks to a broad gain across commodities and tech. Oil prices retreated after US President Donald Trump indicated a de‑escalation with Iran.
Bitcoin also dropped near C$100,000 for the first time since autumn 2024, reflecting a wider pullback following the steep declines in gold and silver. Silver—after more than doubling over the past year—tumbled about 30 per cent on Friday, its worst single‑day drop since 1980, while gold fell roughly 4.5 per cent. All three later bounced from their lows, easing some of the pressure on equities. Traders kept a close eye on Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock, which ended the day lower after a Wall Street Journal report suggested the company’s planned US$100 billion investment in OpenAI had stalled thanks to internal doubts.
