On Monday, stocks looked like they would extend last week’s deep losses as the Toronto and New York indices tanked. However, late in the session, American stocks underwent a surprise rally to close in the positive. While the TSX shed 0.82% to nearly fall to 21,000, the S&P advanced 0.58%, the Nasdaq rose 1.29% and the Dow 0.71%. In contrast, the U.S. 10-year yield inched down to 2.82%. Perhaps news of the Twitter board accepting Elon Musk’s buyout offer lifted sentiment.
Major movers included Alphabet, class C up 3.04%, Fortinet 6.31%, Moderna 7.18% and Equifax 4.81%, while Verizon shed 3.14%, Deere tumbled 4.48%, Exxon slid 3.37% and Baker Hughes lost 4.53%.
Healthcare, financials and even tech were up. Oil was down on both sides of the border as WTI dropped 3% to $99 and WCS to $86.60. In Toronto, energy stocks were the most active and the biggest losers: Enbridge 1.56%, Athabasca Oil -3.54% and Cenovus -4.64%. The winners were Valens up 6.77%, Spin Master 6.61% and Lightspeed up 5.29% as tech mounted a revival. Finally, Bitcoin climbed 1.4% to top $40,000.
