The TSX opened flat on Tuesday as investors weighed upbeat earnings from Shopify and a surge in U.S. tech stocks against ongoing weakness in commodities.

Oil prices fell for a second session on concerns of oversupply and a stronger U.S. dollar, while copper extended losses as investors trimmed exposure to industrial metals. Meanwhile, gold edged lower as traders reassessed rate expectations following last week’s central bank commentary.

In the U.S., the Nasdaq climbed nearly half a percent at the open, boosted by Amazon’s record-breaking rally after a landmark partnership with OpenAI.
