Volumes were lighter than usual on Wall Street as the main indices dipped modestly into the negative. The S&P closed at -0.15% while the Dow and Nasdaq finished -0.07%. Short squeezes continued to grip Gamestop which soared 92.71% but now also Bed Bath & Beyond, which popped over 20%. Beyond Meat announced a deal with Pepsi to produce plant-based snacks. BYND jumped 17.7%.

Overall, energy, materials and utlities lagged American stocks as earnings season began. American Express announced a 15% drop in quarterly profit due to Covid lockdowns, and the stock plunged 4.13%. Conversely, 3M reported an earnings and revenues beat and shares popped 3.26%. However, investors waited for the closing bell to see Microsoft‘s Q2 report. MSFT beat top and bottom lines and jumped 5% after-hours. Texas Instruments reported its own earning beat and climbed 1.5% after hours. However, Starbucks issued a mixed quarter and shares fell 2%.

The short squeeze may be subsiding on this side of the border for BlackBerry, which climbed “only” 3.7% Tuesday. Cannabis surged as Organigram leapt 10.63%, and Canopy and Aphria both rallied around 7.5%. In contrast, energy lagged as Suncor closed -2.33% and Whitecap Resources -5.01%. Tech also saw a down day as Shopify fell 4.2% and Constellation Software dipped 2.19%. The overall TSX closed -0.71%.
