The TSX opened lower Wednesday as a global tech selloff weighed on investor sentiment. Markets turned risk-off after a report suggested AI profits may be overstated — or even non-existent — sending shares of Oracle and Penguin Solutions sharply lower.
The Nasdaq also fell, snapping a record streak as Tesla dropped over 4% following the debut of its new sub-$40,000 Model Y and Model 3 vehicles.
