The trading week began with light volumes and a show-me attitude as investors waited for the latest round of earnings to be released in the U.S. The S&P finished flat Monday while the TSX, Dow and Nasdaq closed slightly in the negative. At Monday’s closing bell, the Nasdaq finished as low as -0.36%. The TSX was helped by rising crude oil prices as WCS rose nearly half-a-percent and WTI by 0.67%.<\/p>\n
Financials, tech and staples gained in Toronto. Advancing were Tamarack Valley<\/a>, up 4.87%, Cineplex<\/a> by 3.37% and Canadian Tire<\/a> up 1.81%. In contrast, Hudbay Minerals<\/a> slid 6.38% while cannabis names took a hit, such as Aphria<\/a>, down 14.19% and Aurora<\/a> losing 9.42%.<\/p>\n On Wall Street, the Dow sectors were mixed, though tech suffered the most. Chipmakers took it on the chin as Intel<\/a> slid 4.18% and AMD<\/a> plunged 5.05%. In headlines, Microsoft bought A.I. healthcare company Nuance for US$16 billion and doubled MSFT’s presence in that business. MSFT shares were flat, but Nuance shot up 16%. But the biggest headlines came from Alibaba<\/a>, after the Chinese government slapped the megacap name with a US$2.8 million anti-trust fine. However, that will turn out to be a small price to pay as investors greeted the news by sending it up 9.27% on Wall Street, relieved that anti-trust attacks are over. Beyond tech, American Airlines<\/a> dipped 2.68% , Expedia<\/a> fell 1.87%, but FedEx<\/a> gained 1.47%. The U.S. 10-year climbed 0.65% to 1.6693%.<\/p>\n 🛢 Tamarack Valley Energy<\/a> +4.87% The trading week began with light volumes and a show-me attitude as investors waited for the latest round of earnings to be released in the U.S. The S&P finished flat Monday while the TSX, Dow and Nasdaq closed slightly in […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":174836,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"cwp_meta_box_check":"No","cwp_rev_product_name":"","cwp_rev_product_image":"","wppr_links":[],"cwp_rev_price":"","wppr_options":[],"wppr_pros":[],"wppr_cons":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[178],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-221331","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily"],"wppr_data":{"cwp_meta_box_check":"No"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/discover\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221331","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/discover\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/discover\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/discover\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/discover\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=221331"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/discover\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221331\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/discover\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/174836"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/discover\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=221331"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/discover\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=221331"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stockchase.com\/discover\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=221331"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
