Global Markets<\/a><\/h2>\n

Canadian Markets<\/h3>\n

Canada\u2019s main stock index (S&P\/TSX) fell as investors grew cautious over the possible U.S. involvement in the Israel and Iran conflict, which has been driving oil higher amid supply concerns. Investors are<\/span> waiting on April\u2019s Canadian retail sales, due Friday, to gauge whether consumer spending remains resilient amid ongoing tariff uncertainty.

Market sentiment remains split: some view the economy as resilient, while Fed officials point to growing weakness driven by tariff-induced price pressures<\/span> . Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar held steady, oil climbed on Middle East worries, and spot gold inched higher amid safe-haven demand<\/span> .<\/p>\n

\n

European stocks retreated broadly as geo-political fears and tariff inflation risks weighed on sentiment<\/span> Norway’s central bank surprised markets by cutting its policy rate by 25 bp to 4.25%, the first cut in five years, citing a milder inflation outlook and flagging further reductions later in 2025<\/span> \u00a0The Norwegian krone weakened sharply following the decision<\/span> .<\/p>\n

UK Stocks also dropped, as the Bank of England held rates steady and warned that global conditions remain \u201chighly unpredictable\u201d, maintaining policy at a 2 low as UK equities followed the broader European downturn.<\/span><\/p>\n
