Mixed stocks, cryptos rally
Tuesday looked a lot like Monday as stocks were mixed, yields weakened and cryptos continued to rally. The TSX closed -0.17% as sectors were mixed. Staples and tech enjoyed strong gains which nearly match losses in materials and energy.
Among the big movers were North West Co. and Shopify both popping 3.44%, Nuvei adding another 2.37% after striking a deal with Microsoft, Cenovus -2.28% and Athabasca Oil -3.88% to reflect oil’s slump. WTI crude sank another 0.85% to $72.40.
The picture on Wall Street was similar. The S&P was basically flat, down two points, the Nasdaq up 0.31%, and the Dow -0.22%. The U.S. 10-year yield continued to lose ground as it fell to 4.17% while Bitcoin soared 4.39% to $43,800. Apple traded the most hands and rose 2.11%, AT&T 3.36%, Charter Communications -8.7%, Comcast -3.41% and Caesars -6.12%.
