On Wednesday, the U.S. Labor Department issued inflation data for April which showed the biggest rise in almost 12 years. This triggered sharp selling across the board with the Nasdaq closing -2.67%, the S&P -2.14%, the Dow -1.99% and the TSX -0.91% which enjoyed some support from rising oil prices.

Industrials were hard hit, like Boeing at -3.54% and Honeywell at -3.95%. Even the homebuilding space saw losses as Home Depot closed down over 4%. Many FAANG names were down 2-3%, such Microsoft at -2.94%. Oil was an oasis with Occidental Petroleum rising 2.41%. The price of WTI climbed nearly 1% and the U.S. 10-year inched up to 1.695%. Bitcoin slid 4% and gold retreated 1%. Wall Street is openly questioning how long the U.S. Fed can maintain its dovish stance on interest rates, though many see inflation as a transitory phase.

As mentioned, oil cushioned the TSX’s fall as the price of WCS rose nearly 1.5%. Cenovus rallied 2.78% and Whitecap Resources climbed 3.15%. In contrast, Western Forest Products plunged 10.32%. Earnings continued to roll in. Intertape Polymer jumped after reporting a strong quarter and Savaria leapt 6.81% after beating its own quarter. However, Hudbay Minerals plunged 7% after posting a Q1 loss.
