Stocks fade, Bitcoin ETF false alarm
Markets on Bay and Wall streets gave back some of Monday’s impressive gains in a session that saw little direction. The TSX closed -0.44% with only tech and telcos rallying. Materials and financials led the laggards.
Of note were TD which closed -4.4%, Tilray -9.29%, Nutrien -4.07%, Shopify -3.47% and Denison Mines which jumped 6.31%. WTI regained 2% to $72.20 though investors are keeping an eye on events at the Red Sea.
In New York, the S&P shed seven points as most sectors declined, especially energy and materials. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq rose 14 points and the Dow closed -0.42%. Big movers were Tesla at -2.28%, Charles River Laboratories -5.17%, Illumina popping 4.55%, and Hewlett Packard sliding nearly 9% after buying Juniper Networks, which rocketed 21.81%. The U.S. 10-year yield ticked edged up to 4.0219%. After the bell, a hacked Tweet announced that the SEC had greenlit Bitcoin ETFs, but the SEC immediately corrected to state that it had not approved these ETFs. The crypto itself sank 1.1% to $46,500, then spiked, then fell.
