Profit-taking, virus and Twitter pressure markets

After hitting record highs last week, markets on both sides of the border slipped to begin the week. Reasons included Covid worries, old-fashioned profit-taking and Twitter. Late Friday, Twitter announced it was banning Trump permanently for inciting violence. More fallout from last week’s siege of Washington: Marriott, Dow and American Express joined the growing list of companies suspending donations to Republican lawmakers who challenged Biden’s election victory.

Amid this turbulence, the Nasdaq closed -1.25%, the S&P -0.66% and the Dow -0.29%. Twitter itself fell 6.41% though big tech as a whole sold off. Apple was down 2.32% and Facebook lost 4%. That was nothing compared to Bitcoin which plunged as much as 21% Monday. Despite that, gold slipped 0.25%. In contrast, Eli Lilly soared 11.74% after releasing positive test results of its Alzheimer’s drug. ODP Corporation jumped nearly 20% after Staples announced it would buy its parent, Office Depot.

The TSX slipped 0.6%, dragged down by industrials, materials and tech. Busmaker NFI Group was among the day’s big gainers, jumping over 15% after offering positive guidance, and cannabis continued to grow as Cronos surged nearly 9%. The price of oil was flat Monday. Several gold names like Argonaut and Alamos were down around 4.5%.
