The move reflected renewed demand for hard assets amid currency volatility and geopolitical uncertainty. Energy producers and precious-metal miners provided leadership, helping offset weakness in rate-sensitive and technology segments.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"567\">CIBC economists say Canada\u2019s housing market is \u201csimply broken,\u201d as falling home prices are now starting to weigh on the broader economy by weakening construction activity, consumer spending, and overall growth. While prices have declined from pandemic highs, they remain too expensive for many buyers, yet not high enough to make new development profitable, creating a supply-demand imbalance that is slowing housing starts and related employment. The decline in home values is also reducing household wealth, dampening consumer confidence and discretionary spending, particularly in regions such as Ontario and British Columbia where corrections have been more pronounced. Because housing and related industries represent a significant share of Canada\u2019s GDP, CIBC warns that prolonged weakness in the sector could continue to act as a structural drag on economic growth unless building costs fall or affordability meaningfully improves.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"567\"><strong>American Markets<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"569\" data-end=\"1162\">American stocks declined broadly as investors reassessed elevated valuations in AI-exposed names. Concerns centered on earnings sustainability, capital expenditure intensity, and the risk of overextended positioning following last year\u2019s rally. The pullback occurred despite encouraging labour market data that showed U.S. initial jobless claims fell by 23,000 to 206,000 for the week ending February 14, materially below the consensus estimate of 229,000. The four-week moving average eased to 219,000, underscoring continued labour market resilience and limiting immediate recession fears.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1164\" data-end=\"1856\">\u00a0The U.S. dollar weakened modestly yet remained above recent lows after Federal Reserve meeting minutes indicated policymakers are not in a hurry to cut rates. Several officials signaled openness to further tightening should inflation reaccelerate, reinforcing a \u201chigher for longer\u201d policy stance.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1164\" data-end=\"1856\"><strong>European Markets<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1858\" data-end=\"2288\">European equities drifted lower, weighed down by mining and utility stocks as investors digested a mixed earnings slate from major corporates including Airbus, Rio Tinto, and Nestl\u00e9. While some results showed margin resilience, others disappointed on guidance and cost pressures, limiting sector momentum. Energy shares outperformed, tracking roughly a 2% rise in crude prices, which provided partial support to the broader index. Meanwhile, the euro edged higher, stabilizing after earlier volatility driven by speculation surrounding potential leadership changes at the European Central Bank.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2290\" data-end=\"2926\">In the United Kingdom, stocks also declined after fresh survey data signaled persistent industrial weakness. The Confederation of British Industry reported that its monthly order book balance improved slightly to -28 in February from -30 in January, yet the reading remains well below the long-run average of -14. The data highlights ongoing demand softness and elevated input costs, reinforcing concerns about sluggish manufacturing recovery. The FTSE 100 slipped further as mining heavyweight Rio Tinto weighed on sentiment following results that missed forecasts, amplifying pressure on the resource sector despite firmer commodity prices.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Corporate Stock News<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"121\" data-end=\"271\"><strong data-start=\"121\" data-end=\"145\">Alphabet Inc (GOOGL)<\/strong> \u2013 Partnered with
