Thursday saw the all-important U.S. 10-year yield continue to climb, touching 4.23%. Meanwhile, U.S. earnings kept rolling in, offering generally positive results. However, the indices gave back recent gains as the S&P closed -0.8%, the Nasdaq -0.61%, and the Dow -0.3%. Eight of the 11 S&P sectors were negative.
Winners and losers depended on their earnings reports. In the former camp were AT&T, jumping 7.69%, Las Vegas Sands at 5.42% and IBM adding 4.73% on good quarters. In contrast, Allstate sank 12.9% and Tesla slid 6.4% on a disappointing report. Elon Musk’s carmaker was the talk of the town as it cut growth projections and missed some key metrics.
Crude oil rose modestly to the tune of $86 per barrel of WTI and $58 for WCS. That still made energy as well as real estate the leader sectors in Toronto, while utilities and consumer staples lagged. The TSX itself shed 0.63%. Major gainers were Cenovus up 3.11%, Shopify by 4.87% and First Majestic Silver popping 5.46%. Losing ground were the banks, including CIBC at -1.12% and Royal at -1.26%. Also weak was Mullen Group at -9.07%.
