Ongoing escalation in Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the backdrop of hot inflation continued to weigh on markets Monday as both tech stocks and oil sold off. WTI sank 7% to below $102 and WCS sank over 8.5% to $88. Oil’s weakness, joined by materials, pushed the TSX down by 1.34%. The only sector to enjoy any gains was financials.
The most-traded stocks were CNQ at -4.41%, Suncor -2.64%, Cenovus -5.95%, Shopify -5.32%, Dye & Durham -3.94% and BCE -3.26%. The few gainers included Aritzia, up 3.57% and Cineplex, adding 3%. Turquoise Hill Resources rocketed over 32% after Rio Tinto’s bid to buy it.
The picture was only marginally better on Wall Street as the S&P closed -1.29%, the Dow -0.7% and the Nasdaq -2.18%. Tech bore the brunt of the selling yet again. Eyes were on Apple, which fell beneath a key level of support by 2.66% to finish just above $150. Affirm Holdings sank 15%, Amazon slipped 2.52% and Chinese stocks continued to fall as Baidu slipped 8.37%. The few bright spots included BioNTech jumping 12% and AMC rallying nearly 7%. Bitcoin slipped 0.3% to stay below $39,000 while gold retreated nearly 2% to $1,950. Meanwhile, the U.S. 10-year yield surged to 2.147%.
