The TSX opened lower Tuesday as global markets slid, dragged down by weakness in tech and renewed concerns that an AI-driven bubble may be forming. U.S. equities also struggled at the open, with investors cautious ahead of key jobs data that could sway expectations for future interest-rate cuts.

Market sentiment was further rattled by a sharp drop in Bitcoin, which fell below US$90,000 for the first time in seven months.
