Stocks and oil climb

China continues to ease its lockdown restrictions, which helped lift markets on Tuesday. Unlike Monday’s session, Tuesday saw stocks close on strength. The Nasdaq and S&P gained nearly 1%, the Dow 0.8% and the TSX up 0.52% driven by higher oil prices and tech stocks. The U.S. 10-year yield dipped below 3% while Bitcoin held around $31,300. Oil prices were choppy, but WTI gained 1.25% to $120 and WCS jumped nearly 4% past $101.

This helped push the TSX as Baytex surged 6.23%, Crescent Point 5.43% and Cenovus 3%. Losers included Canfor down 4.91% and Nutrien slipping 3.39%. Shopify shareholders voted to grant their founding CEO more voting power, and shares rose 5.3%.

On Wall Street, most sectors were in the green. Salesforce rallied 2.34%, Apple 1.76%, Exxon surged 4.58% and Devon Energy 1.92% as energy led gains. In contrast, retail continued to sing the blues as Target slumped 2.29%. Elsewhere, Mosaic slid 4% and Etsy shed 2.8%.
