Markets pulled back today as a hotter-than-expected October inflation report lifted rate-hike odds and cooled the recent tech rebound. The TSX fell 0.73% and the TSX Venture Index dropped 0.83%, while the Dow slipped 0.49% and the Nasdaq lost 0.91%. The FTSE 100 eased 0.44%.
The inflation data cements a December Fed rate hike and pushed the 10-year Treasury yield higher, even as oil slipped 0.66% to 90.00 on hopes of US-Iran peace talks. Gold fell 2.42% and copper dropped 1.88%, while natural gas rose 0.93%. Bitcoin slid 1.11% to just above C$105,000, and the euro pushed above $1.12 as traders weighed whether U.S. inflation could spark a breakout.
