Climbing oil, falling stocks
Markets in New York and Toronto skidded on Tuesday as the price of oil continued to creep towards $100 and the trade war between the U.S. and Canada weighed on investors. The S&P closed -0.58%, the Nasdaq -0.32% and the Dow -1.18% while the U.S. 10-year yield edged up to 4.788% on inflation fears. WTI leapt nearly 3% to over US$94 a barrel. Key names on Wall Street: Nvidia -2.01%, Intel 9.05%, PG&E 3.64%, Tesla 3.98% and Amgen -10.08%. Bitcoin slipped nearly 1% to US$78,530.
The TSX slid over 1% and nearly 400 points as tech, discretionary and real estate led nine sectors down. Energy was unsurprisingly the best performer. Tamarack Valley Energy rallied 3.29%, Ivanhoe Mines 12.82%. Manulife -2.48%, Shopify -7.84% and Thomson Reuters -6.84%. Silver declined -0.6% to US$65.70 and gold slipped 1% to US$4,360.
