Shopify leads TSX to 25,000, Wall St. fades

Shopify reported a blow-out quarter that helped lift the TSX to 25,000 Tuesday morning. The TSX closed below that mark, but still notched a 0.54% gain. Nearly all sectors lost ground as materials and energy led the laggards, though.

Shopify itself soared 21.45%, Denison Mines 5.26%, Enbridge -1.29% and Barrick Gold -2.02%. There were hints that the forthcoming administration in Washington will at least decriminalize cannabis, which sent names like Tilray jumping 5.13% higher. Both WTI crude and gold were flat at US$68 and US$2,598 respectively.

Otherwise, it was negative day in New York. The S&P closed -0.29%, the Dow -0.86% while the Nasdaq shed a handful of points. Major movers: Nvidia up 2.09% as the most-active name, Tesla -6.15% to end its post-election rally, Mosaic -7.74%, GE Vernova -7.36% and Amgen -7.14%. Bitcoin remained at record levels of US$88,230 while the U.S. 10-year-yield edged up to 4.429%.
