Thursday saw markets trading at low volumes but bullish ahead of the U.S. Fed’s Jay Powell delivering a keynote address that may hint at the next rate hike. With tech leading the charge, the S&P closed 1.41%, the Nasdaq 1.67%, and the Dow 0.98%.<\/p>\n
Influential names were Apple<\/a> up 1.49%, 3M<\/a> 1.22% and Amazon<\/a> by 2.6%. The semiconductors rallied with Nvidia<\/a> adding 4% and Intel<\/a> 3%. However, Salesforce<\/a> was a rare loser on Wall Street, sinking 3.39% and Dollar Tree<\/a> plunged 10.22% after its quarterly report. The U.S. 10-year yield slipped to 3.033% while Bitcoin<\/a> declined by a modest 0.8% to around $21,600.<\/p>\n Despite the price of WTI falling 2% below $93, the TSX remained above 20,000. Only utilities were the negative sector and modestly so. Moving higher were West Fraser Timber<\/a> by 6.19%, Ballard Power<\/a> up 4.51% and the weed stocks Tilray<\/a> by 8.81% and Aurora<\/a> up 8.42%. The rally helped erased losses from earlier this week. All eyes on Wall as well as Bay Street will be on Powell’s speech tomorrow.<\/p>\n 🍎 Apple (AAPL-Q)<\/a> +1.49% Thursday saw markets trading at low volumes but bullish ahead of the U.S. Fed’s Jay Powell delivering a keynote address that may hint at the next rate hike.
